Trade affects health through a multitude of pathways. Trade related intellectual property affects the affordability and availability of medicines. Of equal importance, trade plays a central role in the rise in non-communicable disease, and efforts to address the commercial determinants of health. Trade rules often determine availability of tobacco, alcohol and the type of food people consume. Perhaps least considered in global health, is trade in health services, movement of patients and of doctors across borders and its effects on health and health systems. This lecture will examine these different pathways holistically and highlight the massive importance of trade to health in the era of Brexit and Trump.
