The SAD/AD also safeguards the use of communicable disease legislation, and leads its review and enhancement to ensure relevance and utility across outbreak scenarios.

  • A recognised education in Public Health or equivalent would be an added advantage but not a must.
  • Strategic thinker with sound judgement and decision-making skills.
  • Deep understanding of communicable disease control principles and public health policies.
  • Excellent organisational skills in managing priorities and attention to detail.
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication (written and verbal) skills.
