The Centre for Health Protection will conduct an exercise September 27 to review Hong Kong's preparedness for human avian flu cases.
The Health, Welfare & Food Bureau, Department of Health, Hospital Authority and Fire Services Department will participate in the one-day exercise, along with more than 100 players.
The drill will focus on frontline issues, such as the handling of patients in public hospitals and contact tracing by the centre's Surveillance & Epidemiology Branch, in the event of human cases of avian influenza.
It will also provide an opportunity for the parties concerned to put into practice their preparedness plans for combating communicable diseases.
The centre will review the procedures and identify shortcomings to fine-tune the plan to better prepare Hong Kong to deal with the disease.
