Abstract
The feature outlines recent developments in the way several countries in Europe have cooperated to counter fraud and corruption against their healthcare systems. Although the delivery of healthcare differs across Europe, nonetheless the frauds and acts of corruption committed against them are similar and the issues surrounding countering fraud and corruption are familiar ones. As a result, cooperation and sharing best practice can only benefit participants.
