Under the theme “Anti-corruption
in health sector,” the dialogue is a good chance for policy makers and donors
to propose solutions to raise the effectiveness of anti-corruption work in the
healthcare sector.
At the dialogue, leaders of the Health Ministry pledged to continue
anti-corruption solutions, such as increasing openness and transparency in
making policies, designing and enforcing laws, and promoting supervision.
Many international
organizations and donors highly spoke of efficiency, determination and iron-will
of the Vietnamese Government in fighting against corruption. They vowed to stand
side by side with Việt
Swedish Ambassador Rolf
Bergman stated that corruption in the healthcare sector can dispossess people’s
rights of accessing to healthcare services.
He emphasized that the key
for successful anti-corruption is to combine the enforcement of laws,
supervision work and the change of individual behavior.
Mr. Rolf Bergman suggested
that anti-corruption should be regularly popularized in order raise people’s
awareness of negative impacts of corruption on the society, so that they will
say “no” to the evil.
