CDC To Undergo Restructuring Following Covid Pandemic

[Webster]

(The Guardian) The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today that the agency will undergo a massive restructuring following failures during the Covid-19 pandemic.

CDC director Rochelle P. Walensky announced the planned changes during a meeting with senior staff today, acknowledging the CDC’s botched response to Covid-19, reported the New York Times.

“For 75 years, C.D.C. and public health have been preparing for Covid-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations,” said Walensky on the agency’s shortcomings. “My goal is a new, public health, action-oriented culture at C.D.C. that emphasizes accountability, collaboration, communication and timeliness.”

Changes will be aimed at increasing the CDC’s ability to faster respond to major health crises and restoring public trust.

Critics of the CDC say that during the Covid-19 pandemic, the agency failed to scale up testing, vaccination efforts, and data collection. The CDC has also been accused of publishing ineffective and contradictory health advice on Covid-19.

Similar issues have been raised about the CDC’s response to the spread of monkey pox in the US.
