Abstract: For nearly 20 years, corruption in the health system damages the state budget and health insurance budget. This article is aimed at initiating a warning sign on to illegality and the factors that led to this situation. According to the statistics on fraud in the health system, in 2004 they amounted to 1.6 billion Euros, and in 2012, since the financial crisis has led to drastic cuts in the budget of medical units, its value decreased to 300-400 million Euros. To quantify the impact of corruption on the healthcare system, we used global indicators of corruption, but with direct impact on the health system, including: index of perception of corruption and overall integrity index.
