Mission
Statement
Our
mission at the Office of Minority and Women's Health in the National
Center for Infectious Diseases is to assure that the burden and
impact of infectious diseases among racial and ethnic minorities
and women is acknowledged and addressed through research, surveillance,
education, training, and program development. Of major concern are
racial, ethnic, and gender health disparities in infectious diseases.
We work to help improve the health and well-being of minority and
under-served populations through a wide-ranging program that includes
research, training, and prevention.
