Who is my leader? A case study from a hospital disaster scenario in a less developed country.

The minimal published literature regarding disaster leadership suggests that health leadership in a disaster should adopt an approach similar to that of professions such as law enforcement, military and freighting. ⋯ This paper provides recommendations that may have applicability to leadership in real world disasters.
