Negotiations are underway on the services agreements towards concluding a
full and comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between East and
Southern African countries (ESA) and the European Union (EU). The services
negotiations will impact on health services and access to health care. The
brief outlines the issues affecting health services, and presents options
for ESA negotiators to ensure that the negotiations meet international and
African health and human rights commitments, use available trade
flexibilities, promote public health and ensure adequate assessment and
information to support the negotiations.
