Besides looking at major outbreaks of diseases and how they were
coped with, diseases such as malaria, smallpox, tuberculosis,
plague, venereal disease, avian flu and SARS, this book also
examines how the successive government regimes in Hong Kong took
action to prevent diseases and control potential threats to health.
It shows how policies impacted the various Chinese and non-Chinese
groups, and how policies were often formulated as a result of
negotiations between these different groups. By considering
developments over a long historical period, the book contrasts the
different approaches in the periods of colonial rule, Japanese
occupation, post-war reconstruction, transition to decolonization,
and Hong Kong as Special Administrative Region within the People's
Republic of China.
