Description
The European Healthcare Fraud & Corruption Network (EHFCN) is the only European organisation dedicated to combating fraud and corruption in the healthcare sector across Europe. EHFCN was formally established in 2005 as a result of the first pan-European conference held in London in October 2004. Its foundations lie in the European Healthcare Fraud and Corruption Declaration agreed upon by its delegates. Today, the network represents 23 member associations in 10 countries, which provide healthcare services to millions of people in Europe.
Annual healthcare spending across the European Union totals approximately one trillion Euros. It is estimated that approximately 56 billion Euros are lost every year to healthcare fraud and corruption. EHFCN's primary objective is to reduce these unacceptable losses: lowering losses will help bring back money to healthcare services for the benefit of every patient.
EHFCN provides information, tools, training and assistance in fighting fraud and corruption as well as a platform for its members to exchange information and ideas.
EHFCN is a not-for-profit organisation financed through subscription fees. Its members are healthcare and counter fraud organisations in Europe.
