Salomón Chertorivski Woldenberg is a Mexican politician and economist. From September 2011 to December 2012, he was head of the Ministry of Health. He was also in charge of the Secretariat of Economic Development of Mexico City from December 5, 2012 to December 9, 2017.
He was selected a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2014. In 2020, he and a group of other former Health Secretaries criticized the relatively liberal COVID-19 policy of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He is a proponent of prioritizing COVID-19 vaccines for children.[1]
As a professor, he has collaborated at the think tank Center for Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE), as well as at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico (ITAM) and at the Ibero-American University.
Background
He was born in Mexico City on September 28, 1974. He is the son of strategist and administrator Isaac Chertorivski and Sara Woldenberg. His family is of Jewish origin from Ukraine and Poland, who in the 1920s sought refuge in Mexico from the Russian Revolution and World War I.
Education
He studied economics at the [[ Mexico Autonomous Institute of Technology]]. He focused on the area of social policy to combat poverty. In his college years, he though out ideas such as precast panels for home construction and supplying glasses for children in rural communities. He received a master's degree in economics, and later a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University.
Politics
From 2001 to 2006 , he served as coordinator of the social cabinet in the government of the state of Michoacán, headed by Governor Lázaro Cárdenas Batel.
In December 2006, President Felipe Calderón appointed him National Commissioner of Social Heath Protection, and in September 2011, Minister of Health.
In December 2012 the newly elected head of government of the Federal District of Mexico City, Miguel Angel Mancera, appointed him to lead the Ministry of Economic Development.
Thinking of Mexico
Since 2019 he has participated in the think tank Pensando en México (Thinking in Mexico), an advisory council formed that same year and which, according to its foundations, seeks to give space to the diversity of voices in Mexico to design and discuss proposals that can be taken to public politics.
COVID-19
During COVID-19 he promoted a series of dialogues with different experts in order to build alternative initiatives to face the emergency, thus demanding harder measures than the actions of the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and the Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell.[2][3]
On September 9, 2020, on behalf of said group and signed by six former Health Secretaries, including Chertorivski, a document entitled "The management of the pandemic in Mexico, preliminary analysis and urgent recommendations" was presented, where, as his name indicates, an analysis was made of the government's management of COVID-19 in Mexico and its recommendations to contain the pandemic.
This meeting took on particular relevance after the undersecretary Hugo López-Gatell, made irony about the content of this work, a situation that generated great controversy in public opinion.
