Bloomberg News global health reporter Michelle Fay Cortez is moving to Washington after spending the last three years in Asia.
She was an editor on the health and consumer team in Hong Kong before becoming global health reporter two years ago. She will continue covering health stories in Washington.
Cortez has been with Bloomberg since 1992, with previous stints in Washington, where she covered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Minneapolis and London.
Her reporting has raised questions about the accuracy of Abbott’s rapid virus test, explained why antibodies may not be enough to protect us, given us a harrowing picture of what ventilators do to the human body, and walked through Gilead’s pricing dilemma.
Cortez is a graduate of William & Mary and previously worked at UPI and Market News Service.
