abstract: 'Background The dynamic intersection of a pluralistic health system,
large informal sector, and poor regulatory environment have provided
conditions favourable for `corruption'' in the LMICs of south and
south-east Asia region. `Corruption'' works to undermine the UHC goals of
achieving equity, quality, and responsiveness including financial
protection, especially while delivering frontline health care services.
This scoping review examines current situation regarding health sector
corruption at frontlines of service delivery in this region, related
policy perspectives, and alternative strategies currently being tested
to address this pervasive phenomenon. Methods A scoping review following
the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis
(PRISMA) was conducted, using three search engines i.e., PubMed, SCOPUS
and Google Scholar. A total of 15 articles and documents on corruption
and 18 on governance were selected for analysis. A PRISMA extension for
Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was filled-in to complete this
report. Data were extracted using a pre-designed template and analysed
by `mixed studies review'' method. Results Common types of corruption
like informal payments, bribery and absenteeism identified in the review
have largely financial factors as the underlying cause. Poor salary and
benefits, poor incentives and motivation, and poor governance have a
damaging impact on health outcomes and the quality of health care
services. These result in high out-of-pocket expenditure, erosion of
trust in the system, and reduced service utilization. Implementing
regulations remain constrained not only due to lack of institutional
capacity but also political commitment. Lack of good governance
encourage frontline health care providers to bend the rules of law and
make centrally designed anti-corruption measures largely in-effective.
Alternatively, a few bottom-up community-engaged interventions have been
tested showing promising results. The challenge is to scale up the
successful ones for measurable impact. Conclusions Corruption and lack
of good governance in these countries undermine the delivery of quality
essential health care services in an equitable manner, make it costly
for the poor and disadvantaged, and results in poor health outcomes.
Traditional measures to combat corruption have largely been ineffective,
necessitating the need for innovative thinking if UHC is to be achieved
by 2030.'
