Political career

Chioro was appointed to the role of Minister of Health on 3 February 2014, but on 21 February he was exonerated from the position of Minister of Health to take up the position of professor at Federal University of São Paulo. The procedure was part of a bureaucratic procedure, since he could not take office as a teacher already in a public position, however, as a teacher, he can accumulate the position of minister. Hence, Chioro's appointment as health minister took place after taking office as a teacher. The Secretary of Labor and Health Education Management, Mozart Sales, took over on an interim basis.^[4]

On December 31, 2014, his tenure in charge of the ministry was confirmed for the after the reelection of Dilma Rousseff, where he remained until September 29, 2015.^[5]
