Abstract

The issue of corruption is attracting the attention of all citizens. In Vietnam as well as other countries, it is very difficult to accurately assess the situation of corruption that takes place in practice, because corruption is like an iceberg at sea, often only partially aware of the surface through cases that have been discovered and handled. Through the results of the detection and handling of corruption cases in 2021 and based on the assessment of the authorities, the situation of corruption in Vietnam is serious. Corruption is also quite common in the relationship between public servants and people and businesses, between employees of public service establishments and customers, causing tension in public opinion. This article analyzes the consequences of corruption in the health sector in Vietnam, which has just been published by media outlets. This is very serious in the context of Vietnam using huge financial resources to respond to the 4th wave of Covid.
