Corruption in healthcare

Corruption is a major problem in healthcare.

Corruption in healthcare is a major problem in the nations of the former soviet union.  There are many reasons for this, however none that are insurmountable.  My masters' tutorial group chose the topic of healthcare corruption for our presentation.  Your thoughts on the presentation are most welcome!

Why is there corruption?
No nation is immune to it, however some health systems are unfortunately afflicted by it more than others.  Ultimately it boils down to the problem of the human heart - putting perceived personal interests above those of others (and of God).  Christians we can be shining lights in this field, showing that corruption needn't be the only way.  Key in this is remembering:

•  Who we are:
• Romans 3:23 - all have sinned, all fall short of God's glory.

•  Personal accountability & integrity:
• Matthew 7:3-5 - pull the log out of our own eye before others

•  Jesus' sacrificial love:
• Matthew 22:37-39 - love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, love your neighbour as yourself.

•  We are accountable:
• Luke 16:10-13 - God cares about how we live.
• “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
