Corruption’s infiltration into healthcare systems is a bitter pill to swallow. From bribes for faster treatment to fraudulent billing practices, the effects are debilitating. It fosters inequality, as the wealthy buy better care while the vulnerable suffer. Scarce resources meant for patient welfare vanish into the pockets of the corrupt. This malignant presence undermines the very foundation of healthcare, eroding trust and compromising patient outcomes. To heal this sickening reality, robust measures such as transparency, oversight, and ethical standards are imperative. Only through collective action can we purge corruption from healthcare and ensure a healthier future for all.
