华盛顿讯——特朗普总统于周三宣布，他将提名白宫国内政策副助理、内科医生海蒂·奥弗顿博士出任美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）下一任局长。
奥弗顿在新墨西哥大学获得医学博士学位，她曾与美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪以及医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心主任穆罕默德·奥兹博士密切合作。
特朗普在Truth Social平台上发帖称，奥弗顿帮助他们“兑现了史上最具变革意义的健康议程”。
他写道：“众所周知，她敢于直面最棘手的问题，并为我提供最符合国家利益的解决方案。肯尼迪部长近日在椭圆形办公室还评价说，海蒂‘永远正确’！我们现在需要她在FDA发挥领导作用，确保美国始终是全球科学发现和治愈疗法的领导者。”

特朗普在帖文中还写道：“海蒂将与肯尼迪部长和奥兹博士携手，快速落实我的优先事项：更快推出治愈疗法、增强美国创新能力、大幅改革临床试验、降低药品价格，以及取得更多重大胜利！”
本月早些时候，特朗普签署一项行政令，建议对儿童疫苗接种设置限制并做出调整，奥弗顿是当时在场的少数几位椭圆形办公室官员之一。
奥弗顿在约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院完成普通外科住院医师培训，并在特朗普首届任期内担任白宫研究员。

奥弗顿的提名需经参议院确认。在前局长马蒂·马卡里博士因该机构内部紧张关系于5月辞职后，FDA目前由代理局长凯尔·迪亚曼塔斯主持工作。当时一位知情人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，马卡里辞职是因为围绕调味电子烟的内部争论，他不愿批准调味电子烟品种，但遭到政府其他成员的施压。调味电子烟的批评者担忧这类产品会吸引未成年人。

Washington — President Trump on Wednesday announced he’s nominating Dr. Heidi Overton, a physician and deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy at the White House, to be the next head of the Food and Drug Administration.
Overton, who earned her doctor of medicine from the University of New Mexico, has worked closely with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said she has helped them “to deliver on the MOST TRANSFORMATIVE Health Agenda in History.”
“She is known to take on the HARDEST issues, and bring me solutions that work best for the Country,” he wrote. “Heidi is ‘ALWAYS RIGHT,’ Secretary Kennedy recently said in the Oval Office! We need her leadership at the FDA now to ensure that the U.S. remains the WORLD LEADER for Scientific Discovery and CURES.”

“Dr. Heidi will work with Secretary Kennedy and Dr. Oz to RAPIDLY deliver on my priorities of FASTER Cures, INCREASED American Innovation, MAJOR Clinical Trial Reforms, LOWER Drug Prices, and even more MAHA WINS!” he wrote.
Overton was among the few officials in the Oval Office earlier this month when Mr. Trump signed an executive order recommending limits and changes to childhood vaccines.
Overton completed her general surgery residency at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and was a White House fellow during Mr. Trump’s first term.

Overton will need to be confirmed by the Senate. The FDA currently has an acting commissioner, Kyle Diamantas, after former commissioner Dr. Marty Makary resigned in May amid tensions at the organization. At the time, one source familiar with the matter told CBS News that Makary was leaving over the internal debate over flavored e-cigarettes, saying that Makary didn’t want to approve the flavored varieties but had been forced to by other members of the administration. Critics of the flavored e-cigarettes worry about the attraction for children.
