President-elect Donald Trump has announced his selection of Dr. Marty Makary to serve as the commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In a statement, Trump expressed his belief that the FDA has lost the trust of Americans and strayed from its core mission as a regulatory body.
Dr. Makary, a highly respected surgical oncologist and health policy expert from Johns Hopkins, has been chosen to lead the FDA in a new direction. Trump emphasized the need for course correction and refocusing within the Agency, citing Dr. Makary's expertise as essential to achieving these goals.
