Juan Luis Manzur (born January 8, 1969) is an Argentine surgeon and politician. He served as Minister of Health and Environment of Argentina from 2009 to 2015, and is currently Vice Governor of Tucumán Province. ==Biography== Manzur was born in San Miguel de Tucumán to a Maronite Catholic father from Lebanon and an Argentine mother. He received a medical degree from the University of Tucumán and completed his residency at the public Álvarez Hospital, in Buenos Aires. Manzur later received a master's degree in Health Systems and Services Administration from the University of Buenos Aires.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Un médico sanitarista tucumano reemplazará a Ocaña en Salud )〕 Following a stint as Vice Minister of Health for the Province of San Luis, in 2002 he was named Public Health Secretary of the District of La Matanza, a western, mainly blue-collar suburb of the Argentine capital. Recommended by the National Health Minister, Ginés González García, Manzur was appointed Health Minister of Tucumán Province by the new Governor, José Alperovich, in 2003. Manzur soon earned plaudits in his post, which oversaw public health in one of Argentina's least-developed provinces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Se redujo la tasa de mortalidad infantil )〕 One widely used yardstick of public health, the infant mortality rate, fell from 23 per 1,000 births (40% above the national average) in 2003, to 13 in 2006 (matching the national average).〔(DEIS: indicadores básicos, 2005 (2003 data) )〕〔(DEIS: Boletín 121 (2007 data) )〕 The perinatal mortality rate (a late fetal death, or of an infant under one week old) likewise fell during the same period in Tucumán from 24 to 18 per 1,000 births.〔〔(DEIS: indicadores básicos, 2008 (2006 data) )〕 These news helped Manzur secure Governor Alperovich's nod to be a running mate for his successful, 2007 bid for re-election. Manzur was sworn in on July 1, the day after a public health emergency was declared over a worsening H1N1 virus ("swine flu") epidemic, which had claimed 44 fatalities by the time he was sworn in.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Destinan mil millones de pesos para combatir la gripe A )〕 His tenure would thereafter be focused on expanding childhood immunizations, childhood preventive medicine, diagnostic care against coeliac disease and HPV, mobile health, access to organ transplants, and smoking cessation programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vacunaron al 86% de grupos vulnerables )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Argentina: 2012 marcó un nuevo récord en donación y trasplantes )〕 Staunch opposition from the powerful Roman Catholic Church in Argentina forced Manzur to reverse steps toward protecting women's reproductive rights, cancelling proposals in 2010 that would have guarantee access to legal abortions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Argentina Says “Don’t Cry” About Unsafe Abortion )〕 He stepped down as Health Minister in February 2015 to return to the post of Vice Governor of Tucumán, and was expected to run to succeed Governor Alperovich in provincial elections later in the year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Electoral politics in provinces are behind reshuffle )〕 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「Juan Luis Manzur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
