ABSTRACT

The greatest improvements in people's health have resulted not from health services but from social and economic changes and there remain high opportunities to do even better. In order to argue the effects and reflections of globalisation on public's health it is useful to build a framework that covers the harmful, beneficial or mixed effects of this process. The benefits from growing exchange of health related goods and services between countries were decided to be channelled in order to improve the health status and decrease the inequalities by General Agreement of Trade in Services (GATS). Globalisation is sometimes used in a much broader economic sense, as another name for capitalism or neo-colonisation or the market economy. Governments should constitute strong national health policies, regulations, programmes and institutions in order to protect public's health from the negative effects of globalisation. International and national public health movements need the power of strong public and non-governmental organisations' support.
