Abstract
These are the words of a man in Casablanca interviewed by Transparency International Morocco, but they could have been uttered by any number of people in any number of countries. This simple example illustrates the serious consequences of corruption in the health sector. Corruption might mean the difference between life and death for those in need of urgent care. It is invariably the poor in society who are affected most by corruption because they often cannot afford bribes or private health care. But corruption in the richest parts of the world also has its costs. Hundreds of millions of dollars are lost each year to insurance fraud and corruption in rich countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom
