Summary

This publication considers the implications of the WTO's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) on public health services and policy in developing countries. It contains different perspectives from leading experts in the field which analyse the risks and challenges arising from the trade liberalisation agenda, with new empirical evidence from nine country studies. Topics discussed include strategic, legal and economic considerations involved, and it also includes a simple 10-step plan for policymakers on how to deal with GATS negotiations in relation to health services.
