The objectives of the study are: to enable a better understanding of the extent, nature and impact of corrupt practices in the healthcare sector across the EU; and to assess the capacity of the MSs to prevent and control corruption within the healthcare system and the effectiveness of these measures in practice. This study focused on three areas of healthcare: medical service delivery; procurement and certification of medical devices; and procurement and authorisation of pharmaceuticals. On the basis of desk research, interviews (with EC officials and representatives of health professional’s organisations, medical device industry, pharmaceutical industry and health insurers), field research in all 28 EU MSs and analysis of a total of 86 corruption cases, six typologies of corruption have been identified: bribery in medical service delivery; procurement corruption; improper marketing relations; misuse of (high) level positions; undue reimbursement claims; and fraud and embezzlement of medicines and medical devices. The study concludes that corruption in the health sector occurs in all EU MSs and that both the nature and the prevalence of corruption typologies differ across the EU member States. The study shows that there is no single policy in the successful fight against corruption in the health sector. What is needed is a combination of effective generic anti-corruption policies and practices (legislation, enforcement), policies and practices aimed at addressing fundamental health system weaknesses (managerial and financial), a general rejection of corruption by society (including a self-regulation by health sector actors), and specific anti-corruption in healthcare policies and practices.
