Indian-American Dr Vivek Murthy will serve again surgeon general under the Joe Biden administration after working under former President Barack Obama.
The US President-elect Joe Biden announced his health team, which will be led by Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
“Dr. Murthy will be one of my most trusted public health and medical advisors, and I’m grateful for his continued public service,” Biden said on Tuesday as he announced Murthy’s nomination.
