The concept of corruption in relation to global health has been defined as: “misappropriation of authority, resources, trust or power for private or institutional gain that has adverse effects on regional, local or international health systems and/or that negatively impacts individual patient and/or population health outcomes”. As reported by Transparency International, the scale and scope of corruption impacting health is immense. Exact numbers are elusive, but it is estimated billions of dollars are lost annually due to corruption and fraud in a global health market estimated to be worth 10% of global gross domestic product in 2009 (Mackey, Liang, 2012). The prevailing view is that corruption mainly affects investment and economic growth adversely. A payment of a bribe to get an investment license, for example, clearly reduces the incentive to invest (Bardhan, 1997). In the first volume of the subtitle of book series, titled “Integrity, Transparency, Corruption in Healthcare & Research on Health Volume 1”, distinguished academicians around the world have discussed the different perspective of ethics and fraud from a different perspective.
