This forum will discuss challenges to and opportunities for strengthening and restoring integrity, responsible business conduct, and anti-corruption efforts in the ongoing context of COVID-19.

The healthcare sector has one of the most vulnerable value-chains for high corruption risk exposure during and after the pandemic. The extent and type of corrupt practices are numerous, including - high rate procurement, misusing emergency provisions, under-spending of allocated resources, and many similar issues. The challenges are likely to increase in near future, with vaccine procurement and distribution. In view of the situation, this panel will focus on:
