Healthcare in AEC 2015
9
AFAS Liberalisation of Healthcare Services
Under the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS), all ASEAN Member States (AMS)
are required to liberalise services across all sectors and modes of supply
All AMS have made commitments in healthcare services in the latest 9th AFAS Package and
will need to continue improving it for the 10th AFAS Package (ultimate target of AEC 2015)
5 subsectors of healthcare services out of 155 subsectors of the universe of services sectors
Hospital Services (CPC 9311), Medical & Dental Services (CPC 9312), Other Human Health
Services (CPC 9319), Services provided by midwives, nurses, physiotherapists and para-
medical personnel (CPC 93191), and Veterinary Services (CPC 932)
The 4 modes of supply in international trade in services are as follows:
Mode 1 (Cross-border Supply): supply of service from the territory of one country into another
country (e.g. tele-diagnosis of a patient in Bangkok by a doctor in the US)
Mode 2 (Consumption Abroad): supply of service in the territory of a country to a consumer of
another country (e.g. A Malaysian patient gets treatment at Mt.Elizabeth hospital in Singapore)
Mode 3 (Commercial Presence): supply of a services through commercial presence of a
service supplier in the territory of another country (e.g. a Korean clinic opens in Manila)
Mode 4 (Presence of Natural Persons): supply of service through the presence of natural
persons from one country in the territory of another country (e.g. and Indonesian medical
doctor provides surgery practice in Brunei)

Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA)
3 MRAs related to healthcare have been signed in ASEAN: Nursing (Dec 2006), Medical
Practitioner (Feb 2009) and Dental Practitioner (Feb 2009)
Foreign practitioner may apply for registration in host country subject to these conditions:
Possess professional qualification recognised by authorities of country of origin

In compliance with CPD at satisfactory level
Certified of not having violated any professional or ethical standards
Has declared that there is no pending investigation or legal proceeding
In compliance with other requirements as may be imposed by host country
3 ASEAN Joint Coordinating Committees (AJCCs) for the 3 MRAs have been established
since 2007 (AJCCN) and 2009 (AJCCM and AJCCD) to implement the MRAs:
Exchange and publish info on domestic regulations, esp. on procedures for practice
Identify core competencies and common curriculum
Identify and undertake exchange programs
Explore mechanisms to facilitate greater mobility of ASEAN health professionals
Currently in process for setting up secretariat and a comprehensive website (Indonesia)

AEC 2025:
ASEAN Trade in Services Agreement (ATISA) and Healthcare
Trade in Services
The next agenda of the AEC 2025 is to facilitate the negotiations and implementation of the
ASEAN Trade in Services Agreement (ATISA) for further integration of services in ASEAN.
Builds-upon and enhances existing ASEAN services agreements incl. AFAS & ASEANs FTAs
Forward looking and considers best practices as well as new trade in services topics
ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) had agreed to prioritise completion of negotiations for
ATISA and the transition to negative list approach within 2017
Healthcare
Unlike AEC 2015, Healthcare is included as a section of the AEC 2025 Blueprint
ASEAN will continue to promote the development of a strong healthcare industry that will
contribute to better healthcare facilities, products and services to meet the growing demand for
affordable and quality healthcare in the region:
Continue opening up of private healthcare market and Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
investments in provision of universal healthcare in the region
Further harmonisation of standards and conformance in healthcare products and services
Promote sectors with high-growth potential such as health tourism and e-healthcare services
Further facilitate the mobility of healthcare professionals in the region
