Director Statement
The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak at the Heping Hospital was one of the most important incidents in Taiwan in the last decade. Like other incidents of collective panic on the island, most of us chose silence in the face of this pandemic, but, has the story of this incident ended? Will such pain go away? Have we learned enough from it so we can deal with similar outbreaks in the future?
