Corrupção na área da saúde: o compliance e as “collective actions” como instrumentos capazes de ensejar a ética e a integridade no setor

Abstract

Corruption as a national reality has, in recent years, been at the center of the Brazilian political-economic debate. The large investigative operations were able to squeeze large deviated values. The health sector, in this context, appears as protagonist in the observation of the practice illicit, unethical and out of that held for integrity. This circumstance leads to harmful consequences, exposing not only patients and users to risks, but also all the correct course of the market and respect for democratic institutions. In addition, the absence of typification of corruption between private individuals makes fertile ground for the occurrence of obscure exchanges between medical professionals and entrepreneurs of this same branch. In this sense, compliance emerges as a means capable of modifying said scenario, essentially through collective actions. Considering the above-mentioned perspective and the specificities of the topic addressed, dialectics will be used as a methodology capable of better incorporating the inherent needs of the studied subject.
