The Department of Health on Friday assured that all personnel from the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine will be absorbed into the proposed Center for Disease Control if the bill creating it is enacted into law.
"In fact, what we are going to do is to further strengthen Research Institute for Tropical Medicine because we are going to subsume the RITM into our current CDC which will have more funds, which will have more support, which will have more experts for us to be further guided into these different tasks that we have,” she said.
“[The] RITM specifically stated that they fully support the establishment of CDC, and that it is a national public health agency where RITM will be subsumed. We assure personnel in RITM that nobody will lose their work, everybody will be absorbed based on the capacity of each and every personnel in RITM,” she said.
