Carbone completed a number of large projects as Peruvian Minister of Health. In 2002 Carbone issued a proposal of reforms to replace the General Health Law, limiting various reproductive rights in the process. This included his extending legal rights to fertilized eggs from the moment of conception, a proposal which received much criticism. Another object of criticism was his refraining from the distribution of the Next Day Pill across the country, despite demands from various NGOs.^[2]

An official 2002 report by Carbone suggested that the government of Alberto Fujimori had been involved in the forced sterilizations of almost 250,000 people between 1996 and 2000, predominantly indigenous women.^[3]
