Corruption in the health sector isn’t just a governance issue, it costs lives. 

From informal payments and procurement fraud to political interference and the diversion of medical supplies, corruption undermines health systems at every level. It erodes public trust, drains already limited resources, and prevents people from accessing the care they need, when they need it most. In many cases, it means the difference between timely treatment and unnecessary suffering, or even death.

Join Transparency International Global Health for the launch of the Global Health Atlas, a powerful new tool that harnesses artificial intelligence to bring clarity to the murky world of corruption in health.

Drawing on over 13,000 articles from around the globe, the Atlas enables users to quickly pinpoint where corruption is being reported, what forms it is taking, and how it is affecting people’s ability to access care.

Be part of the conversation and discover the potential of AI and big data to expose corruption and drive accountability in global health.
