In particular, he said, "It is not a formal review."

The infectious disease research center at the National Institute of Health, which is currently affiliated with Jillbon, was created to create an infectious disease research institute.

Then, the Agency has been criticized for having less manpower and budget and less expertise in infectious diseases, which led to the President's'review order'.

So, the interpretation is that the President's direction is to leave both the National Institute of Health and the Institute for Infectious Diseases in the IRS.

However, there is also the objection that it is necessary to put it under the Ministry of Health and Welfare as the original proposal and integrate it with other research projects of the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
