Corruption is one of the most important barriers to implementing universal health coverage around the world; imagine what that world would look like! The subject of corruption in global health is often muted and totally taboo for some to even think it. This podcast episode on corruption is opening up the discussion to a wider audience to understand the scale of the problem for health systems and to hold more people to account for their part in the resulting damage.
For this Global Health Matters podcast episode, our host Dr Garry Aslanyan delves deep into the topic to uncover the sources, the offenders and the solutions from our panel of experts. Together they are able to define the subject matter, provide examples from around the globe and piece together the puzzle of how to solve this conundrum.
- Monica Kirya – Senior Adviser, U4 Anti-Corruption Resource Centre
- Patty Garcia – Former Minister of Health, Peru. Professor of Public Health, Cayetano Heredia University
- Jonathan Cushing - Global Health Programme Director, Transparency International
