BOLIVIA'S PRESIDENT GOES TO CUBA FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) -- Bolivia's government says President Evo Morales has gone to Cuba for emergency treatment of a persistent throat problem following "major complications."
Presidential Minister Ruben Martinez told journalists that Morales left after a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, but he gave no details on Morales' condition. The president's voice has been hoarse in public appearances in recent weeks and Morales has said he had a cold.
The 57-year-old leader canceled his plans on Feb. 6 because of the throat problem and underwent an examination by Bolivian doctors.
Morales had nasal surgery done by Cuban doctors in 2009, but the procedure was conducted at a clinic in Bolivia's capital.
