This study examines corruption in the healthcare sector, focusing on its causes and possible legal solutions. Corruption is analyzed both as a legal issue abuse of official power for private gain and as a socio-cultural phenomenon shaped by informal gift-giving practices. Key challenges include the acceptance of gifts by medical staff, societal expectations of material gratitude, low salaries, weak accountability, and the influence of informal payments on service quality. Using a comparative approach, the study analyzes the healthcare systems of Germany, Estonia, and Moldova. These countries demonstrate effective mechanisms such as transparent financial systems, strong public financing, and mixed funding models that help reduce corruption risks. The findings show that healthcare corruption is driven by economic, legal, and cultural factors. The study proposes reforms including improving salaries, strengthening accountability, and promoting public awareness and ethical standards. Ensuring a corruption-free healthcare system is essential for protecting the right to health and maintaining public trust.
