President Moon Jae-in urgently instructed to review the details of the promotion of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kang Min-suk, a spokesman for the Blue House, said today (5th) that President Moon Jae-in instructed the government to reconsider how to transfer the Infectious Disease Research Center to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, which is now expanding to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Center for Infectious Diseases.

Controversy has risen since the announcement of the promotion plan for Qibon's proposal that the National Health Research Institute in charge of disease research was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare has raised concerns about the possibility of a gap in the function of infectious disease research.
