Summary
Sara Brenner, a physician and former top FDA official, is now leading the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response, a role left unfilled during Trump’s second term until now.
Two new pandemic response officials were added as the administration confronts multiple infectious-disease threats, with the move confirmed by a White House spokesperson.
The staffing expansion comes as an Ebola outbreak spreads, pushing the White House to bolster its outbreak-response structure and centralize preparedness leadership.
