Health Care Support Services Summary Paper

During World War II the Office of National Defense of Malaria Control Activities founded CDC, the Center for Disease Control. CDC did not become Center for Disease Control and Prevention until much later. The Malaria Commission of the League of Nations and Rockefeller Foundation was greatly influenced by the start of Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The malaria control was supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, and worked with the government and cooperated with the agency. The Communicable Disease Center also known as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention was organized in Atlanta Georgia in 1946. It was also a branch of the U.S. Public Health Service. This area was chosen because of the outbreak of malaria. Working with a budget around 1 million dollars, over half of the staff were involved in mosquito reduction and habitat control with the intent to eliminate malaria in the United States. Employed with close to 400 employees, the main jobs at the facility were engineering and entomology. After they were established more than a million homes were treated for malaria and other communicable diseases. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention had gained worldwide recognition for quantity and quality for its aid to the taxonomy of the Enterbacteriaceae. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention developed the national guideline for the flu vaccine. In 1960 Public Health Services moved the Tuberculosis program to Center for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2011 The Center for Disease Control and Prevention celebrated its 65th anniversary of it’s founding in July 1, 1946.
