Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee (PIDAC)
In response to a recommendation by the Expert Panel on SARS and Infectious Disease Control (the Walker Panel) the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care established the Provincial Infectious Diseases Advisory Committee (PIDAC) to provide a single standing source of expert advice on infectious diseases for Ontario. PIDAC advises the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) on prevention, surveillance and control measures necessary to protect the people of Ontario from infectious diseases. PIDAC provides the CMOH with advice on issues such as standards and guidelines for infection control, emergency preparedness for an infectious disease outbreak, protocols to prevent and control infectious diseases, and immunization programs. PIDAC brings together a high level of expertise from relevant fields across Ontario’s healthcare sector, including respected experts in infection control, infectious disease, medical microbiology, public health, epidemiology, and occupational health and safety. PIDAC is currently co-chaired by Dr. Doug Sider, Associate Medical Officer of Health, Niagara Region Public Health Department, and Dr. Dick Zoutman, Chief of the Department of Medical Microbiology and Medical Director of Infection Control Services, Kingston General Hospital. |
