Corruption has been described as a disease. When corruption infiltrates global health, it can be particularly devastating, threatening hard gained improvements in human and economic development, international security, and population health. Yet, the multifaceted and complex nature of global health corruption makes it extremely difficult to tackle, despite its enormous costs, which have been estimated in the billions of dollars. In this forum article, we asked anti-corruption experts to identify key priority areas that urgently need global attention in order to advance the fight against global health corruption. The views shared by this multidisciplinary group of contributors reveal several fundamental challenges and allow us to explore potential solutions to address the unique risks posed by health-related corruption. Collectively, these perspectives also provide a roadmap that can be used in support of global health anti-corruption efforts in the post-2015 development agenda.
腐败被形容为一种疾病。当腐败渗透到全球卫生领域时，其破坏性可能尤为巨大，会威胁到在人类与经济发展、国际安全及民众健康方面来之不易的进步。然而，全球卫生腐败具有多面性和复杂性，尽管其造成了高达数十亿美元的巨大成本，但要应对起来却极为困难。在这篇论坛文章中，我们邀请了反腐败专家来确定一些关键优先领域，这些领域迫切需要全球予以关注，以推动打击全球卫生腐败的斗争。这个多学科撰稿群体分享的观点揭示了若干基本挑战，并让我们能够探索应对与卫生相关腐败所带来的独特风险的潜在解决方案。总体而言，这些观点还提供了一份路线图，可用于支持2015年后发展议程中的全球卫生反腐败工作。
