Ultimatum to Bolivia's Health Minister: Cancel SUS or Face Healthcare Crisis

Bolivia's Healthcare Crisis: Ultimatum Issued to Health Minister Over SUS System LA PAZ, BOLIVIA – In a strongly worded video message circulating on social media, a spokesperson for Bolivia's healthcare sector has issued an ultimatum to Health Minister, demanding a response to their demands and the potential cancellation of the SUS (Sistema Único de Salud) by Wednesday, June 4th, 2025. The spokesperson, who appears to be a doctor, argues that the public should direct their complaints to the Ministry of Health, not individual medical professionals, due to the division of responsibilities between the government, municipalities, and hospitals. "The people should address the Ministry of Health, not the doctors who are simply doing their jobs," stated the spokesperson in the video. "We have given the Minister until Wednesday to respond to our demands and consider canceling the SUS." The video highlights the ongoing tensions within Bolivia's healthcare system and the growing concerns among healthcare workers. The ultimatum adds a sense of urgency to the situation and suggests potential disruptions in healthcare services if the demands are not met. The Ministry of Health has yet to respond publicly to the ultimatum. The situation will continue to be monitored for further developments.
