Abstract
The worldwide Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic could be traced back to the outbreak of atypical pneumonia in Guangdong Province, China in late 2002. In February 2003, this disease spread to Hong Kong with devastating impacts. 1,755 people were infected and 299 of them died. The senior management at Hong Kong's Queen Mary Hospital managed the SARS crisis by adopting effective infection control measures. They also implemented strategies in gaining employees' trust and co-operation amidst a growing public hysteria caused by severe hospital outbreaks and rising death tolls. They showed wisdom, integrity and strong leadership during the management of the crisis.
