Corruption and Health

Corruption and Health: "Health is a major global industry, a key responsibility and budget expense for governments and businesses; but more than that, it is a global human right. Corruption deprives people of access to health care and is one reason why so often increased spending does not correlate with improved health outcomes. Corruption in the healthcare sector can erode public trust in the medical profession."
When one thinks of corruption, it's usually politicians, policemen or businessmen who come to mind. This eye-opening report documents how pervasive this problem is in healthcare too !
