Bolivian President Evo Morales will return to La Paz from Havana on Wednesday after he underwent a surgery to remove a benign nodule in his throat, Vice-President Alvaro Garcia Linera said on Monday.
"President Morales will return to Bolivia on Wednesday...in the afternoon or in the evening. He will complete his recovery in the country," Garcia Linera told a press conference, adding that he had spoken briefly with Morales by phone.
Morales travelled to Cuba on Thursday and received the operation on Saturday, with a small benign tumor being removed from his vocal chords, after it gave him trouble speaking.
Morales has left the hospital and is resting in Havana, while receiving constant monitoring and care.
The vice-president said that the intervention saw "very good results," although Morales would need up to a week of rest "to give his voice a complete rest."
Garcia also said the president would resume his usual political activity and speeches, and confirmed Morales' attendance at a ceremony for the anniversary of the department of Tarija on April 15.
