The Universal Periodic Review process. A strategy to tackle health sector corruption

Corruption in the health sector is one of the main barriers to the attainment of the right to health, and significantly affects poor people living in low- and middle- income countries. The Universal Periodic Review process provides a new forum and tool for promoting anti-corruption measures, transparency, and accountability. Donors can contribute to enhancing its role and holding governments to account for violations of the right to health.
