Professor Health Systems & Policy @LSHTM
I strive to support action on anti-corruption/improved governance in health systems, people-centred care (non-communicable disease) and resilience.
We continue this work with #TheLancetGlobalHealthCommissiononAnti-CorruptioninHealth | lnkd.in/ebwCQ9YP
& #AccountabilityinAction Malawi
They have set up a process of engagement, to co-create pragmatic and politically viable solutions. This involves diverse groups of stakeholders at all levels of the health system and society.
In the past 6 years, the group conducted innovative and rigorous research and published extensively in high-quality journals, thus reaching technical audience. This informs effective policies.
The group has become a focal point for research on health sector corruption and anti-corruption, in Africa and worldwide. They are often approached to share expertise and inform international anti-corruption efforts.

It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix.
This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation.

With funding and right to health under threat, the time to act is now. Our Lancet GH Commission on Anti-Corruption approach:
🔍 Evidence-based
🌍 Context-specific
🤝 Civil society-led
⚖️ Changing incentives and structures

Most anti-corruption efforts fail. Why? They ignore the political and institutional factors underpinning #corruption. To fix corruption we must fix broken health systems and political networks enabling it #PolicyReform

Corruption is global and not just a low-income country issue —and so must be our response. From COVID-era procurement scandals to opaque pharma lobbying, some richer countries enable corruption via tax havens/lax oversight
@martinmckee.bsky.social @eleanorhutch.bsky.social @lancetgh.bsky.social
From informal payments to rigged procurement of medicines, corruption erodes trust and harms the most vulnerable most. And it’s local and global—from health clinics to offshore tax havens #HealthEquity #Governance
@martinmckee.bsky.social @eleanorhutch.bsky.social @lancetgh.bsky.social
Corruption kills - it is linked to higher child and adult mortality, infectious disease, poor mental health, fake medicines. The cost in lives and money is massive #Accountability

AI can uncover hidden fraud or enable corruption on an unprecedented scale. Success hinges on who controls the data and tools—governments, civil society, or private entities.
