Trump announces picks for surgeon general and FDA commissioner

President-elect Donald Trump has officially announced Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as his choice for surgeon general and Dr. Martin Makary as FDA commissioner. Dr. Nesheiwat, currently the medical director for CityMD, is recognized for her expertise in urgent care and has frequently appeared on Fox News.

Dr. Makary, a prominent surgeon at Johns Hopkins, has stirred debate with his critiques of pandemic policies, including mask mandates and lockdown strategies. Their nominations are expected to significantly influence health policies in the U. S. , particularly in light of ongoing discussions about healthcare management and pandemic responses.

This announcement comes at a critical time as public opinion shifts towards health management and reform, making their roles essential in shaping the administration's approach to these challenges.
