Nilagdaan kahapon ng Pangulo ang ad interim appointment ni Duque.

“The Palace wishes to announce the ad interim appointment of Mr. Francisco T. Duque III as Secretary of the Department of Health (DoH). Secretary Duque is not new to the DoH. He used to be its Secretary from June 2005 to January 2010,” sabi ni Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella. “We wish him well in his present stint in the government.”

Bago naitalaga sa Gabinete, itinalaga ni Pangulong Duterte si Duque bilang kasapi ng GSIS Board of Trustees noong Pebrero. Makalipas ang isang buwan, si Duque na ang naging chairman ng GSIS.

Doktor ang propesyon, nagsilbi rin si Duque bilang chairman ng Civil Service Commission (CSC) simula 2010 hanggang 2015.

Bago naitalaga sa CSC, nagsilbi siyang kalihim ng DoH at president-chief executive officer ng Philippine Health Insurance Corporation sa administrasyong Arroyo.
