Laura Barreto

Dr. Laura Barreto is a healthcare professional who recently served as the director of a local health unit in Tebicuary, Paraguay. Her management, which began in March 2023, was marked by notable improvements in healthcare services, including the reactivation of the laboratory and the strengthening of emergency care. Following her abrupt removal from the position by the IPS Council, she became a focal point for protests organized by retirees who praised her leadership and advocated for her reinstatement, arguing that her dismissal was politically motivated.
