    Historique

    In April 1939 the Division of Preventable Diseases was split into the Division of Epidemiology and the Division of Venereal Disease Control. The first director of the Division of Venereal Disease Control was A. L. McKay.

    The Division of Venereal Disease Control expanded significantly in October 1943, given a boost by concern over control of V.D. in the armed forces and the entry of the federal government into the area of V.D. control. The new Director, Major John A. Leroux, placed greater emphasis on prevention, and set up a multi-part administrative structure that included medical services, epidemiology, education, coordination, and research programmes. Furthermore, an Advisory Committee on Venereal Disease Control was formed under the aegis of the Ontario Medical Association to advise the Department.

    In 1959, the Division was renamed the Venereal Disease Control Branch and by August 1960, the Branch was incorporated as a section in the new Division of Epidemiology.
