Abstract
The rising international trade in health service would benefit developing countries. But it would also affect their health systems and deteriorate the existing health inequity. According to GATS there are four modes of international trade in heath service. Each mode is driven by different motive and has different implications for developing countries. This means developing countries should consider policy barriers to promote trade in health service and adjust their public policies and trade policies to improve health equity.
