The global pandemic requires urgent decisions by governments to purchase goods without complying with public procurement laws and even negotiating their price, and to fight for hard-to-access resources (medical devices and equipment, health system workers). Meanwhile, many mechanisms for preventing and enforcing corruption are suspended due to the state of emergency. Such situations create opportunities for new forms of corruption, and for corrupt individuals to use the situation by bribing and receiving bribes, concluding agreements at unreasonable prices, using an official position to receive medical assistance or vaccinations, demanding payment for public and already paid-for services, plundering support, etc.

Abstract As a consequence of globalisation, people's mobility has been increasing, which brought cultural diversity to a number of countries of the world, therefore intercultural competences became a particularly important research object in organisation management. Scientific literature is rich in publications on the topic, however, the latter problem and its specificity has been insufficiently studied in health care organisations whose performance is especially important for each patient and the cost of errors, possibly caused also by insufficient intercultural competences, may be very great. The conducted research justifies the meaning and significance of intercultural competences in health care organisations and identifies the principal problems in organisations faced when communicating in an intercultural environment. The development of intercultural competences was not sufficiently promoted in health care organisations, leaving that to the staff's responsibility. Quite a few of health care services providers had a poor knowledge of etiquette and did not know much about the customs and traditions of other countries.
