Abstract

Terrible natural disasters or dangerous human activities endanger the life and health of the population. The increased frequency of these events prompts the population to exert greater pressure on public managers to rethink, to innovate, and to adapt management in the field of health to the ever-changing environment. The National Health Strategy and the National Strategy for Preventing Emergency Situations are the instruments that manage the life and health of the population in dangerous situations. Managers in the fields of health and emergency situations could develop new ways to manage strategies and public institutions by applying adaptive management in order to better protect the life and health of the population. The aim of this paper consists in presenting that, by applying strategic and adaptive management in the public sector in the fields of health and emergency situations in Romania, public managers can better serve the needs of the citizens.
