Henk Bekedam Sars Quotations

Now we dare to say that the SARS epidemic is over its peak period both globally and in China, ... This shows SARS can be contained -- this, despite the fact that we still have no vaccine or cure or diagnostic test.

It is hoped that the lessons of SARS have been taken to heart by the Chinese authorities, and that China's leadership in combating the H5N1 avian influenza outbreak will be an example to other countries affected at this time.

The challenge now is to eliminate it as a public threat. The surveillance system needs to be beefed up to be more sensitive and action-oriented so we can get all SARS cases.
