ABSTRACT On Mar. 12, 2003, the World Health Organization issued a global alert regarding cases of a severe atypical pneumonia termed “severe acute respiratory syndrome” (or SARS). In Singapore alone, there have been 238 SARS cases and 33 deaths, including 5 health care workers. With modern global inter-connectivity, SARS rapidly spread to become a worldwide phenomenon. This article describes the Singapore “war on SARS” from an emergency physician’s perspective, focusing on the “prevent, detect and isolate” strategy. Notable innovations include the use of home quarantine orders, mass temperature screening using thermal imaging, modular systems of hospital staffing, “virtual” hospital visits, and innovations in emergency department design. Most emergency departments, hospitals and health care systems appear to be psychologically and logistically unprepared for a massive infectious disease outbreak. In light of recent natural and terrorism-related threats, emergency care providers around the world must adopt a new paradigm. The current SARS outbreak may be merely a taste of things to come.

Primary health care (PHC) is again high on the international agenda. It was the theme of The World Health Report in 2008, thirty years after the Alma-Ata Declaration, and has been the topic of a series of significant conferences around the world throughout 2008. What have we learnt about its impact in improving population health and health equity? What more do we still need to know? These two questions frame a four-year international research/capacity-building project, 'Revitalizing Health for All' (RHFA), funded by the Canadian Global Health Research Initiative (http://www.idrc.ca/en/ev-108118-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html). The RHFA project is organised under the umbrella of the People?s Health Movement (http://www.phmovement.org/en) and the International People?s Health University (http://phmovement.org/iphu/), and involves researchers from over a dozen countries. Our project team?s understanding of PHC is of a comprehensive approach aimed at reducing health inequities that is based on meaningful community participation, multidisciplinary teams and action across sectors.
