Description:Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention responds to public health emergencies domestically and throughout the world.
For half a century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been in the vanguard of our nation’s efforts to combat disease. CDC had its genesis in the World War II agency, Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA), which was converted to the Communicable Disease Center in 1946. Over the years, CDC has matured to become the nation’s prevention agency, spearheading endeavors to prevent and control disease, injury, and disability and to promote healthful behaviors that profoundly affect people’s health and the quality of their lives.
