This book observes that an in-depth study exclusively focusing on
health service trade not only strengthens the overall services
trade capacity of the South Asian region, but also promotes global
as well as regional trade. There is a dearth of analytical research
on estimating barriers to trade in health services, particularly in
the context of South Asia, and as such, this book assesses the
potential benefits and economic costs of barriers to trade in
health services in select South Asian economies. It also analyzes
the impact of liberalization and regulatory reforms on economic
welfare. It broadly addresses issues relating to trade in health
services, the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services), such
as: Why are the current levels of trade in health services low? How
will the GATS legally affect a country's health policy? What effect
might liberalization have on national health systems? And what are
the likely benefits of greater trade in health services? It also
provides specific answers to the following questions: Does the
substantial role of the government in health - as health service
provider, financial supporter, regulator and promoter - have
implications for the treatment of the sector under the GATS? What
is the impact of liberalization of international trade in health
services on the quality and availability of health services in
developing SAARC countries? Given the importance of consumption
abroad for trade in health services, and the gradual opening of
health markets through Modes 1 and 3 (cross-border supply and
commercial presence), how can problems associated with trade in
these Modes be prevented? And are these problems sufficiently
addressed by GATS disciplines? Answers to these questions will be
of great use to researchers, policy makers as well as practitioners
and NGOs of South Asia.
