On International Anti-Corruption Day, we look at why healthcare - as a profession, and as a system - falls prey to corruption, when its very core value is to protect and provide care to people. Dr Khor Swee Kheng, independent health policies specialist, and Alan Kirupakaran, Committee Member of Transparency International Malaysia, joins us to explore examples of healthcare corruption and abuse in Malaysia, and what it will take to cleanse the system.
