华盛顿,8月5日(路透社)——美国参议院周三确认埃丽卡·施瓦茨博士出任美国疾控中心主任,这是特朗普政府在多次未能填补高层卫生职位空缺后罕见取得的一次胜利。

施瓦茨是特朗普提名的第三位疾控中心主任人选,以51票赞成、44票反对的结果获得确认。她将成为自特朗普的第二位提名者苏珊·莫纳雷斯去年因疫苗政策分歧被卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪解雇后,首位常驻疾控中心主任,莫纳雷斯上任不到一个月就被解职。

此次确认提名之际,疾控中心正处于数月的领导层动荡之中,在特朗普第二任期内,该机构除了莫纳雷斯任职的那一个月外,始终没有固定负责人。

施瓦茨接手的疾控中心正面临多重危机:美国三十年来最严重的麻疹卷土重来,其诱因是儿童疫苗接种率下降;刚果民主共和国和乌干达爆发的国际埃博拉疫情;以及近年来美国规模最大的食源性疾病暴发事件。

特朗普于今年4月提名曾在其第一任期内担任副卫生局局长的施瓦茨。现年54岁的她是一名获得委员会认证的预防医学医师,2015年至2019年期间担任美国海岸警卫队首席医疗官。她拥有布朗大学医学学位和马里兰大学法学学位。

WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate on ​Wednesday confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz as director ‌of the U.S. CDC, handing the Trump administration a rare win after repeated failed attempts to fill top health posts.

Schwartz, ​U.S. President Donald Trump’s third pick to run ​the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was confirmed ⁠51-44. She will be the first permanent CDC ​director since Susan Monarez, Trump’s second pick, was fired by ​Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last year after less than a month over a clash on vaccine policy.

Her confirmation follows months ​of leadership turmoil at the CDC, which has ​lacked a permanent leader for all but a month of ‌Trump’s ⁠second term.

Schwartz inherits an agency confronting the worst U.S. measles resurgence in three decades, driven by falling childhood immunization rates, an international Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic ​of the Congo ​and Uganda, ⁠and the largest U.S. foodborne illness outbreak in recent years.

Trump nominated Schwartz, his first-term deputy ​surgeon general, in April. The 54-year-old is ​a ⁠board-certified preventive medicine physician who served as the U.S. Coast Guard’s chief medical officer from 2015 to 2019. ⁠She ​holds a medical degree from ​Brown University and a law degree from the University of Maryland.
