He also said that it was important to recognize that "our common enemy is HIV/AIDS, not people living with the virus", and that it was necessary to work with infected people instead of stigmatizing them.〔("HIV prevalence drops in Congo" ), Panapress, 1 December 2009.〕 Following a deadly 2010 outbreak of polio—a disease that had not been recorded in Congo-Brazzaville for the previous 10 years—Moyen oversaw a mass vaccination campaign, performed in stages in September 2010 and December 2010.〔("New bout of polio vaccination to begin in Congo" ), Agence France-Presse, 3 December 2010.〕〔("Congo: Second phase of immunization under way as polio outbreak kills 200" ), IRIN, 10 December 2010.〕 Additionally, Moyen launched a nationwide measles vaccination campaign on 20 December 2010 for children between the ages of nine months and five years.〔("Campagne de vaccination de masse contre la rougeole" ), Agence France-Presse, 21 December 2010 .〕 As the polio vaccination campaign continued, Moyen said on 25 January 2011 that there would be a coordinated vaccination campaign with two neighboring countries, the Congo-Kinshasa and Gabon, in February 2011. He also said that 220 people had died, and 542 cases of the disease had been recorded, since the outbreak began in October 2010.〔("Congo, Gabon, DRC to undertake coordinated polio vaccination" ), Panapress, 25 January 2011.〕 Moyen launched a campaign to raise awareness about sickle cell disease in the Pool Department on 8 May 2012.〔Messilah Nzoussi, ("Campagne de sensibilisation sur la drépanocytose dans le Pool" ), Congo-Site, 9 May 2012 .〕 Moyen was moved to the post of Minister of Higher Education on 25 September 2012.〔("Remaniement ministériel au Congo-Brazzaville" ), Radio France Internationale, 26 September 2012 .〕〔("La nouvelle équipe gouvernementale rendue publique le 25 septembre" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', number 1,584, 26 September 2012, page 2 .〕 During Moyen's stint as Minister of Higher Education, plans moved forward for the establishment of a new university, the Denis Sassou Nguesso University; it would be Congo-Brazzaville's second public university, after the Marien Ngouabi University. Speaking in November 2013, Moyen said that a single public university was insufficient, and he discussed the government's plans for "devolution of higher education, the gradual establishment of institutions of higher education across the country".〔Josiane Mambou Loukoula, ("Enseignement supérieur : l’Assemblée nationale favorable à la création de l’université Denis-Sassou-N’Guesso" ), ADIAC, 19 November 2013 .〕 Speaking on 30 June 2014, Moyen stressed that the preservation of peace was the key principle guiding Sassou Nguesso's policies, leading to his "constant involvement in the search for dialogue in international relations and in the pursuit of national unity".〔Messilah Nzoussi, ("L'UNESCO et le Congo échangent sur la «culture de la paix»" ), Congo-Site, 1 July 2014 .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Georges Moyen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
