The SARS outbreak in 2003 has posed a challenge to global health
care. The international health care community will benefit from
experience sharing and joint strategic planning in the prevention
and management of SARS. Since 1993, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority
(HA) has organized an international convention every year to promote
sharing of experience among fellow health care professionals. Over
1,500 clinicians and healthcare professionals from overseas, China
and Hong Kong attended the HA Convention each year. HA Convention
2004 will again invite internationally renowned academics and experts
to share their views and achievements and to explore innovative
ideas on sustainable health care. In addition, a special Hong Kong
SARS Forum will be held this year for sharing and reviewing the
SARS experience. Health care professionals will be able to build
on this valuable experience a better foundation for enhancement
of clinical management and heatlh care services. With a gathering
of such distinguished and celebrated speakers from all over the
world, the HA Convention 2004 is definitely an event not to be missed.
