The Republic's chief medical adviser, Professor Kenneth Mak, has been appointed the chairman of the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) – a new statutory board.
The agency will be established on April 1, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on March 24.
First announced by MOH on Feb 13, the CDA will be set up to consolidate the public health functions that detect, prevent and control infectious diseases. It will seek to allow the Government to respond swiftly to disease outbreaks and "play a vital role in safeguarding Singapore from infectious disease threats", MOH said.
