CORRUPTIO

N IN
MEDICAL
FIELD
Now a days, Corruption is the main
issue which is found in many sectors
of each country and as a result lower
class peoples do not get their rights.
In medical field, due to corruption
many poor people losses their life.
Corruption in the health sector is a worldwide
phenomenon that constitutes a deadly and

complex challenge, says the Global Corruption


Report 2006, which specifically focuses on
corruption and health.

FINANCIAL Management Corruption


Corruption is seen in every aspect of healthcare
mainly financial management of the
organization. In a recent report in an Indian
daily -- "Indians pay bribes worth Rs 2,728 cr"
(equivalent to approximately US$570m
annually), the report finds that the public
sectors surveyed the health and education
sectors were the most corrupt.
Factors contributing to financial corruption:

*Low Wages for Public servants


*Illiteracy amongst masses
*Lack of funds

. How can the financial


management corruption be
dealt with?
*Privatization in health sector
The lack of accountability arises when institutions are weak public funds is low,
privatization of health services can be seen as an alternative method of improving
the quality and effectiveness of health services. Privatization limits the powers of the
public officials and thus their opportunities of influencing bribery and corruption.
Monitoring the quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness of private care and
treatments, ensures access to quality health services to the needy and also prevents
abuse of the resources. Managing the rates of medicines in private by the displaced
informal payments would make a mere difference in public and private care.

Changes in accounting systems


Health systems require clear and simple accounting and procurement standards
based on legal framework that encourages transparency participation and due
timeliness. An effective supervision and auditing systems is essential in improving
the over sightedness that is the root cause to loop holes in an organization and
ensure effective enforcement of rules that punish misconduct.
