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.'
