[Paraguay] Protests: Peaceful protest

On 9 April 2025, in Ciudad del Este (Alto Parana), members of social organizations and the Medical Union, along with patients, nurses, and staff from the Regional Hospital, protested in front of the institution and then marched along the PY07 highway before returning. They demanded the construction of the Great Hospital of the East. They opposed the merger of the Regional Hospital with the Social Security Institute (IPS), considering it unfeasible due to infrastructure and personnel deficiencies. Protesters claimed that the Regional Hospital could not meet the current demand, and patients demanded the provision of medicines, especially for those with chronic illnesses.
