I agree with the first recommendation that key stakeholders should seek agreement on the scale and nature of corruption in each health system. To address the corruption should begin with creating space for open discussion. However, there are some challenges because less empowered people may be afraid to speak openly. They might need strong support and protection.
I will stay neutral on the second recommendation. Although we need to prioritize action based on the impact of the health system and the existence of a potential remedy that has some feasibility of success, we need to take action against all forms of corruption to prevent the severe threats.
I agree with the third recommendation. The corruption response mechanism in the health system need multi-disciplinary approach. Many countries with high levels of corruption do not have strong multi-disciplinary response and have limited research because studying corruption can be politically sensitive and even risky. Understandably, researchers choose less controversial topics.
I agree with the fourth recommendation. The researchers need to be clear about how they can contribute to the study of corruption. In addition, this timing is especially great due to big data and modern analytical tools like social network analysis, which can help researchers study corruption in a more detailed and innovative way.
