More than a century later Hong Kong was to face SARS in 2003 and again Hong Kong rose to the challenge and found the virus causing SARS. Apart from scientific discoveries, both events served as a wake-up call for the government and the community on the importance of protecting the health of the people. So, what lessons have we learned from these deadly diseases? How did the plagues affect the TWGHs as a major provider of medical services in Hong Kong? |
