From the Paper:

"In a report entitled "Trading Health Services Across Borders: (GATS), Markets, and Caveats written is that "The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is the result of an ongoing process of opening national markets to foreign health services within an international framework of trade agreements that prohibit discriminatory treatment of foreign suppliers. If healthcare is to be globalized then it will require that there be resources developed for the academic and corporate sectors of the developed society for empowering equitable and sustainable growth. Trading health services should be utilized as a tool in achieving the goals set out for the industry."
