7th EHFCN Annual Conference

Despite the different healthcare systems operating throughout the European Union, healthcare fraud and corruption occurs in all systems. Recent reports suggest that estimated losses to healthcare fraud amount to around 5.59% of healthcare budgets, or approximately 56 billion Euros across the European Union every year.

It is high time to tackle these losses at all levels and in every country, as every cent lost to fraud and corruption drains vital resources from our healthcare systems and undermines their capacity to provide essential treatment.

In addition to fraud, additional healthcare expenditures are caused by factors such as unnecessary (and expensive) treatments, redundant tests, errors and inefficiencies in the production and delivery of healthcare goods and services. Possible ways to tackle these issues will also be part of the conference programme.
