Abstract

Even though no terrorist attack was identified in Europe, after the 2001 terrorist attacks in the USA, these countries suffered a big pressure to establish plans for this type of threat. Hospitals will be a reference for those who feel ill, so they will have to be prepared. Thus it is necessary to take measures to reduce the consequences, a contingency plan will be necessary for a bioterrorism situation preventing or at least reducing victim's mortality and morbidity.
