Indian-American physician Dr Ashish Jha, the White House's point person on the COVID-19 response, will leave the US administration towards the end of June, an official statement said.
Jha, 52, was appointed as the White House COVID-19 Coordinator in April 2022 and will return to Brown University, where he had served as the dean of the varsity's school of public health. His departure comes after the federal government ended its twin national emergencies on the virus earlier this spring.
