Join USAID and Transparency International Global Health online to discuss how we mitigate corruption to achieve Universal Health Coverage

Almost US$600 billion is lost from health systems each year to fraud and corruption, more than enough to close the financing gap in delivering universal health care by 2030 – a key commitment made by all United Nations member states.Join <a href="https://www.usaid.gov/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">USAID</a> and <a href="https://ti-health.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Transparency International Global Health</a> along with esteemed panellists to uncover an overlooked health emergency – corruption.
