For this purpose, semi-structured interviews are held with ten senior executives of public hospitals in Turkey and the decoded data are analyzed through the content analysis. According to the analysis results, during the epidemic management in hospitals; leadership characteristics of managers, planning, continuity of basic health services, human resource management, communication and plans for the next epidemic come to the fore.
