Corruption Category Research and development

The main aim is to create a better understanding between doctors and patients in order to enhance the quality of service delivery in healthcare clinics.

TI Lithuania launched a social design experiment, "Vitamin Lab" , to see if changing a clinic's environment indirectly affected the behaviour and attitudes of patients, increased transparency and reduced bribery.

The work focused on engaging with regulators for a general review of the legislation governing medications. The goal was to influence stronger compliance around clinical trial registers, lodging and reporting. Working with partners (TranspaiMED and Mesh Down Under), the work sought to encourage the New Zealand Government to subscribe to the World Health Organisation joint statement on public disclosure of results from clinical trials.

The central objective of the project is to contribute to reducing corruption in the health sector of Bosnia and Herzegovina through the engagement of Civil Society Organisation (CSOs) in policy formulation, decision-making and support of public healthcare institutions in providing a more efficient and better quality health services. Main activities will focus on improving the transparency, accountability and integrity of 15 healthcare institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina by providing systemic solutions to key areas at risk of corruption including public procurement, human resources management and financial management and patients’ waiting lists. Further, the project aims to increase the relevance of CSOs and media in the fight against corruption in the health sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN) worked throughout this project on sharing knowledge on the linkage between corruption and human rights by compiling a practical assessment for Palestine with focus on the fundamental right to health, increasing community awareness on this linkage, and empowering CSOs working on health to include integrity, transparency, accountability and anti-corruption perspectives in their work in order to hold officials accountable for corruption and violation of human rights.
