The Plurinational State of Bolivia formally recognizes Traditional Medicine as a constitutional pillar of its Plurinational Health System (Sistema \u00danico de Salud). The healing traditions of Aymara, Quechua, Guaran\u00ed and Amazonian nations are practised across the country and include <\/span>yatiris<\/span><\/i> (healers), <\/span>parteras<\/span><\/i> (midwives) and <\/span>kallawayas<\/span><\/i> (travelling herbalists). Rituals, coca leaf readings and spiritual ceremonies are often combined with plant-based care.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Vice Ministry of Traditional and Intercultural Medicine oversees national efforts to integrate ancestral knowledge into public health. Law 459 (2013) formalizes the rights of traditional practitioners and mandates coordination between biomedical and Indigenous health systems, especially in Indigenous territories and intercultural health centres.<\/span><\/p>\n","slide_images":[{"ID":423,"id":423,"title":"Depositphotos_371301494_XL","filename":"Depositphotos_371301494_XL.jpg","filesize":304362,"url":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/Depositphotos_371301494_XL.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.staging.tmgl.org\/americas\/countries\/bolivia\/depositphotos_371301494_xl\/","alt":"","author":"6","description":"","caption":"","name":"depositphotos_371301494_xl","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":410,"date":"2025-05-20
