This study aims to analyze crisis management mechanisms in Libyan institutions, focusing on decision-making and support during crises. The case study of Al-Bayda Medical Center was conducted to examine the causes of crises and the methods of handling them. The study found that slow response times and the absence of specialized crisis management teams are among the major challenges facing Libyan governmental institutions. The results also indicated that the lack of pre-established strategic plans for crisis management leads to their escalation. The study recommends adopting the concept of crisis management and activating specialized teams to address future challenges..............
