Article Abstract:

The European network of state epidemiologists and national agencies failed to provide quick information, and support on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to the afflicted countries. The European healthcare officials determined that faster coordination and better surveillance will be made possible by a European Center for Disease Control (ECDC), similar to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, it lacks both regulatory authority and laboratory resources.
