The topic of this paper is about crisis management in the public sector. Namely, it is a very current topic, because in recent times numerous crises can be observed in the public sector, especially in hospitals. Namely, the paper focuses on crisis management in hospitals. When writing a paper, certain goals are set. The objectives of the work refer to the conceptual definition of crisis, as well as familiarization with crisis management. In addition, the public sector should be conceptually defined, and crisis management in the public sector should be explained using practical examples. It should be noted that every crisis brings with it certain consequences, which can be constructive or destructive. It is very important that the crisis manager uses his managerial knowledge and experience in a proper way. Namely, he must recognize the crisis in time, come to a conclusion about what caused the crisis, find ways to get out of the crisis, and of course how to reduce the consequences of the crisis. It is desirable that after the crisis, the consequences are as mild as possible. The paper focuses on the public sector, more specifically on crisis management in the public sector. From the examples mentioned in the paper, it is evident that the leaders in some hospitals reacted promptly to the crisis and made their opinion public. In this way, they reassured the public and expressed their sincere feelings of sympathy for the patient and the family because of the situation. Therefore, it is very important to make a statement to the media as soon as possible, and thus to explain how this situation came to be.
