Abstract

Corruption is a global problem in itself, and it presents a particular issue when it appears in the healthcare system. The healthcare system of every country is sensitive to corruption regardless of the level at which it occurs. The objectives of the research are: to determine the existence of documents that prevent corrupt activities in healthcare institutions; to ascertain whether the institution possesses Standard Operating Procedures that regulate the methods of employment and the induction
of new employees; and to examine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of employees regarding the awareness of anti-corruption prevention mechanisms.

The research is quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional, and comparative. Available strategic
documents from institutions were used and analyzed. The research did not require financial costs and investments from the researchers. The results show that 39.4% of respondents believe that healthcare work workers take bribes, with 19.7% indicating that this occurs entirely, and 19.7% partially. Additionally, 51.2% of respondents stated they would report bribery if they had certain knowledge about it, with 45.7% indicating they would do so entirely, and 5.5% partially.
