Ariana Campero was born in the city of Cochabamba on 21 September 1986,where she completed high school. Her university studies were in the field of medicine. She was in one of the first cohorts of Bolivian students to receive scholarships to study in Cuba during the early years of the Evo Morales government. There she studied at the Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina in Havana,graduating as a doctor. She returned to Bolivia in 2011 and she is trying to bring Cuban Doctors to replace Bolivian doctors.
Campero was assigned to work as a community doctor supporting the Juana Azurduy bonus program for pregnant and post-partum women in Aiquile Municipality,Cochabamba. For ten months she served as an advisor to Health Minister Juan Carlos Calvimontes.
On 30 April 2014,Campero was sworn in as Vice Minister of Health,replacing Martín Maturano. She held that office until January 2015,when she was elevated to Minister of Health. She became the youngest minister in Evo Morales' cabinet at just 28 years of age. [3] [4] [5] [6]

The politics of Bolivia takes place in a tree of a presidential representative democratic republic,whereby the president is head of state,head of government and head of a diverse multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament. Both the Judiciary and the electoral branch are independent of the executive and the legislature. After the 2015 election,53.3% of the seats in national parliament were held by women,a higher proportion of women than that of the population.
Juan Evo Morales Ayma is a Bolivian politician,trade union organizer,and former cocalero activist who served as the 65th president of Bolivia from 2006 to 2019. Widely regarded as the country's first president to come from its indigenous population,his administration focused on the implementation of left-wing policies,improving the legal rights and socioeconomic conditions of Bolivia's previously-marginalized indigenous population and combating the political influence of the United States and resource-extracting multinational corporations. Ideologically a socialist,he has led the Movement for Socialism (MAS) party since 1998.
Abortion in Bolivia is illegal,except in the cases of rape,incest,or to protect the woman's health. This policy forms part of the Penal Code laid down in 1973,and has been in force since then. Due to the difficulty of receiving abortions—even if the abortion does fall under one of the exceptions to the law,judicial permission needs to be secured,which can take a very long time—many pregnant women end up having unsafe,clandestine abortions instead. According to the Bolivian Ministry of Health,almost all of the 67,000 abortions performed in Bolivia in 2011 were clandestine,with approximately half of the women who received them needing hospital care afterwards. This practice has been linked to the high maternal mortality rates in the country.

Bolivia–Cuba relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Bolivia and Cuba. Both nations are members of the United Nations,but relations of Bolivia with Cuba,like those of most countries in the Western Hemisphere with the notable exceptions of Canada and Mexico,have waxed and waned over the decades depending on geopolitical and regional political circumstances. Relations were good under Evo Morales,who shared the position of his like-minded left-wing allies in Nicaragua and Venezuela that Fidel Castro was a humanist and beloved icon of resistance to US hegemony in the Americas.
