Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged in southern China
in November 2002 and spread rapidly along international air routes
in early 2003. Asian countries had the most cases (7,782) and
deaths (729). SARS challenged Asian health care systems, disrupted
Asian economies, and tested the effectiveness of the International
Health Regulations. GAO was asked to examine the roles of the World
Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. government, and Asian
governments (China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) in responding to SARS;
the estimated economic impact of SARS in Asia; and efforts to
update the International Health Regulations.
