In today's episode we're diving into the hidden world of pharmaceutical bribery and its impact on global health.

Drawing from official OECD reports, we explore how major drug companies use sham studies, lavish gifts, and offshore shell companies to influence doctors and government officials.

These systemic practices do more than just inflate costs; they distort medical decisions and can put patient safety at risk.

We examine why over $1.1 billion in sanctions may still be viewed by firms as a mere cost of doing business and what reforms are needed to protect public trust in medicine.
