Breaking: FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb to resign
"I'm confident that the FDA will continue to advance all these efforts, and many other goals," Gottlieb wrote.
Azar called Gottlieb an "exemplary public health leader, aggressive advocate for American patients, and passionate promoter of innovation." "The public health of our country is better off for the work Scott and the entire FDA team have done over the last two years," Azar said in a statement. Gottlieb, a former FDA and CMS official in the George W. Bush administration, was confirmed by the Senate in a 57-42 vote in May 2017 but went on to win bipartisan support for his public health initiatives. He was a key player in the Trump administration's plans to revamp the drug approval process and reduce regulations and red tape.
