Bolivian President Evo Morales

Havana, March 28 (RHC-ACN)-- Bolivian President Evo Morales will undergo minor surgery Friday in Cuba to remove a nodule from his left vocal cord, the Presidency Minister Rene Martinez has said.

During a press conference Monday, Martinez said that the ministerial cabinet and the medical team decided to advance Morales´ trip to Havana because he is in good conditions for the surgery process.

Health Minister Ariana Campero explained that this advance of the trip does not have to do with any emergency, but to the fact that the head of state has had fast recovery upon an anti-viral treatment he was administered to fight current sinusitis.

Campero said that the surgery process will last between 15 to 20 minutes and later Morales will have to keep absolute rest for at least 48 hours. This kind of surgery usually requests a two-week recovery, noted the minister.

Initially, the Bolivian head of state had planned to travel to Cuba in April to have the nodule extracted. The nodule was detected in early march and upon that event Morales said that such throat problem did not pose any risk to his life.
