عن المؤلف

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a national public health agency in the United States, tasked with protecting public health and safety through the control and prevention of disease, injury, and disability. Established in 1946, the CDC initially focused on malaria control in the southern United States but has since expanded its mission to address a wide range of health issues, including infectious diseases, chronic diseases, environmental health, and emergency preparedness. The agency plays a critical role in responding to public health emergencies, conducting research, and providing health information to the public and healthcare professionals alike.
