At the World Justice Forum IV, Tarh Frambo, Country Director of the Global Citizen's Initiative in Cameroon, is interviewed by Radha Friedman, Director of Programs at the WJP, about the program he incubated with support from WJP to address corruption in the public health care system of Cameroon.
Pervasive corruption in Cameroon’s public health system has left millions of at-risk adults and children without access to basic health services. With little knowledge of their fundamental rights and lack of effective regulatory enforcement within the courts, many citizens have been forced to pay bribes for medical services that should be free in public hospitals and clinics. The Cameroon Health Care Access Program is combatting corruption in the medical sector and improving access to services for vulnerable populations, including the HIV positive population.
The decline of trust in public institutions is not a phenomenon confined to any single border; it is a defining global crisis of the 21st century. From the Americas to Southeast Asia, intensifying political polarization and a growing sense of disillusionment with traditional political institutions are evident. However, to understand the mechanics of this decay, we must look to where the data is most granular.
The rule of law is a vital economic asset for the private sector. Learn how predictable legal systems drive investment, mitigate risk, and why businesses must advocate for judicial independence in an era of global backsliding.
