Abstract听听
There is a growing evidence base that illuminates how corruption harms the health and welfare of patients, particularly those that are most vulnerable and marginalized. Health systems are particularly vulnerable to corruption given they are technically complex, there is often asymmetric information between its stakeholders (such as patients and providers) and anti-corruption, transparency and accountability (ACTA) mechanisms within may be weak or non-existent. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen how the risk of corruption in health systems globally has been amplified. This seminar will discuss how we need to prioritize addressing corruption risks in health systems in order to promote equity and advance public health goals.听

搁茅蝉耻尘茅
La recherche montre de plus en plus clairement comment la corruption nuit 脿 la sant茅 et au bien-锚tre des patients, surtout les plus vuln茅rables et les plus marginalis茅s. Les syst猫mes de sant茅 sont particuli猫rement vuln茅rables 脿 la corruption compte tenu de leur complexit茅, de l鈥檃sym茅trie de l鈥檌nformation accessible aux diff茅rents acteurs (comme les patients et les professionnels), et de l鈥檌nexistence ou de l鈥檌nsuffisance des m茅canismes internes de transparence, de responsabilit茅 et de lutte contre la corruption. Pendant la pand茅mie de COVID-19, nous avons vu le risque de corruption s鈥檃mplifier dans les syst猫mes de sant茅 脿 l鈥櫭ヽhelle mondiale. Dans ce s茅minaire, nous verrons l鈥檌mportance de diminuer les risques de corruption dans les syst猫mes de sant茅 afin de promouvoir l鈥櫭﹒uit茅 et de faire progresser les objectifs de sant茅 publique.
