1. (U) Biographic information for President Garcia's Ministers of 
Justice, Labor, Education, Health, and Women's Affairs and Social 
Development follows below.  As noted in reftels the appointments 
represent a multi-party cabinet with a mix of APRA party loyalists and 
technical personnel.  These ministers were sworn into office on July 28 
2006. See reftels for biographic information on the other cabinet 
members. 
 
Justice - Maria Zavala 
---------------------- 
2. (U) The new Minister of Justice is Maria Amabilia ZAVALA Valladares. 
 
She has 25 years experience working in Peru's judicial system, most 
recently as the Chief Justice of Lima Superior Court since January 
2005. Prior to that she served as President of the Special 
Anticorruption Court of the Lima Superior Court.  Zavala received her 
law degree from the prestigious San Marcos National University.  She is 
an associate professor of Criminal Law at the Academy of Magistrates; 
and an associate professor of Criminal Law at Iquitos University.  She 
was born in Talara, Piura on January 15, 1956. 
 
3. (U) Zavala's other judicial appointments (in Lima, Loreto 
Department, and Maynas District courts) included: President of the 
Superior Court of Loreto; President of the District Commission for 
Control of the Magistrature; President of the First and Second Corporat 
Criminal Courts for Ordinary Processes for Defendants in Jail; Presiden 
of the Ninth and Tenth Criminal Courts in Lima; Judge for the First

Office and the Upper Amazonas Prosecutor's Office; Assistant Prosecutor 
for the 21st Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Lima; and Provisional

4. (SBU) Zavala was a valuable counterpart to USAID in the successful 
establishment of commercial courts, a mechanism crucial to PTPA 
implementation.  In the sluggish environment for judicial reform during 
the last years of the Toledo Administration, she stood out for her 
integrity and effectiveness.  Since her appointment she identified 
judicial reform as a priority and indicated that she would use her 
contacts at the Superior Court level to promote judicial modernization, 
anti-corruption, transparency, and other recommendations from the 
Special Commission for Integrated Reform of Justice Administration 
(CERIAJUS). Zavala has also called for the reform of unsafe, 
corruption-laden prisons and seeks to expedite extraditions.

Southern Departments of Peru."

Policy at San Martin de Porres University.  From 1995-98 she was active

Development.

and coordinating special rural and infrastructur assistance projects 
through the National System for Popular Cooperation (COOPOP).  She is

Health - Carlos Vallejos 
------------------------ 
10. (U) Dr. Carlos Santiago VALLEJOS Sologuren, the new Minister of 
Health, is a surgeon specializing in oncology.  From February 2002 
until his appointment, he was Director General of Peru's Specialized 
Institute of Neoplastic Disease (INEN), the country's major cancer 
treatment center.  He led an effort there to decentralize oncological 
services by creating Oncology Departments in Lima and provincial 
hospitals.  He has served as the Director of Oncosalud (a private firm 
specializing in cancer treatment.)  Vallejos began his studies at the 
San Fernando College of Medicine at the University of San Marcos and 
transferred to the University of Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), where he 
graduated as a medical surgeon in 1966 and where he returned in 1987 fo 
his doctorate.  He was a resident at the Archbishop Loyaza Hospital and

12. (SBU) Some critics have expressed concern that Vallejos experience 
is biased toward advanced private-sector care and that he lacks 
experience dealing with Peru's fundamental public health issues, such a 
quality and accessibility of basic primary care, nutrition, water and 
sanitation, and control of infectious diseases.
