Abstract
AbstractA high rate of morbidity and/or death, fear and panic, and economic losses are just some of the consequences of both, natural and deliberate releases of highly contagious diseases. Epidemiological surveillance, rapid outbreak detection, infectious agent identification, response and recovery, including decontamination activities, are able to minimize the risk of a biological incident. Inter-departmental cooperation – public administration authorities, civil and military services – might also reduce the effects of biological threats. This chapter presents the crisis management system used by the Polish government in the case of a natural epidemic of a dangerous infectious disease or a bioterrorist attack. The supportive role and capabilities of military institutions are also discussed.KeywordsInternational Health RegulationNational Public Health InstituteBioterrorism AttackWest Nile FeverSanitary InspectionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
