In addition to a global endurance test for the health system, the Corona pandemic
triggered a tremendous social and economic crisis. Health professionals as well as
politicians and business managers have to make decisions with considerable consequences
under great time pressure. In this context, numerous international organizations
- including Transparency International, GRECO and IACA - point out
that the Corona crisis can be a breeding ground not only for conflicts of interest,
but also for corruption. Even though quick decisions have to be made at present, it is clear that the strict prohibitions on corruption must be fully observed also in
times of the Corona crisis. In order to avoid violations from the outset, existing compliance
systems should continuously be updated and adapted to the current situation.
This article begins with a description of possible forms of corruption in the
health care sector that are particularly relevant in the current times of crisis. Finally,
the article offers ideas for updates on the company's internal healthcare compliance
system with regard to anti-corruption.
