Padilha's reaction to Trump's sanction against the Secretary of Health for Mais Médicos
Health Minister Alexandre Padilha (PT) condemned the US government's attacks on the Mais Médicos program and called them "unjustifiable."
On Wednesday the 13th, Donald Trump's administration announced the revocation of the American visa of Mozart Julio Tabosa Sales , current Secretary of Specialized Health Care at the Ministry of Health, and Alberto Kleiman , former International Relations advisor at the ministry and former Director of External Relations at PAHO.
The announcement was made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, on social media, referred to Mais Médicos as a “diplomatic fraud.”
" Mais Médicos, like Pix , will survive unjustifiable attacks from anyone. The program saves lives and is approved by those who matter most: the Brazilian people ," Padilha said on social media.
" We will not bow to those who persecute vaccines, researchers, science, and now two of the key people for Mais Médicos in my first term as Minister of Health, Mozart Sales and Alberto Kleiman."
