The primary responsibilities of KDCA encompass the disease surveillance, control and management of infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases. This involves monitoring disease outbreaks, conducting epidemiological investigations, and implementing strategies to prevent the spread of infectious diseases including immunisation and laboratory detection. The agency also performs on various surveys on non-communicable diseases, collects national health threat data and promote evidence-based policies. KDCA is committed to advancing health research and development through innovation, cutting-edge research aimed at disease prevention and control.

KDCA actively collaborates with WHO, international partners and other countries to enhance global health security and the newly established Global Health Security Coordination Office will take a le듣ading role in strengthening regional and global capacities. Through a comprehensive approach to public health, the KDCA strives to protect and promote the health of all people and ensure a safe and healthy future for all.

Thank you.
