由于最近的OCT morning after pill 没有批准，ＦＤＡ妇女儿童主任辞职。
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I regret to tell you that I am leaving the FDA, and will no longer be
serving as the Assistant Commissioner for Women's Health and Director
of the FDA Office of Women's Health. The recent decision announced by
the Commissioner about emergency contraception, which continues to limit women's access to a product that would reduce unintended pregnancies and reduce abortions is contrary to my core commitment to improving and advancing women's health. I have spent the last 15 years working to ensure that science informs good health policy decisions. I can no longer serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated and recommended for approval by the professional staff here, has been overuled. I therefore have submitted my resignation effective today.
I will greatly miss working with such an outstanding group of
scientists, clinicians and support staff. FDA's staff is of the highest caliber and it has been a priviledge to work with you all. I hope to have future opportunities to work with you in a different capacity.
Sincerely,
Susan
