Herland Munguía Poma stated that the certification circulating on social networks bears his name, registration number, and even his seal, but he neither attended to nor knows the former MAS leader in person.

Herland Humberto Munguía Poma, a doctor at the Hospital Corazón de Jesús in El Alto, denounced on Wednesday that his name, registration number, and seal, which appear on the medical certificate circulating on social networks and attributed to Evo Morales’ defense, were falsified. He clarified that he never evaluated or certified any illness of the former president.

“For me, it is a great surprise to see the similarity in my surnames. Munguía Poma are my surnames, the registration number is correct, the seal was practically scanned, and most importantly, the signature does not correspond to mine,” the doctor stated to ATB.

On Tuesday, January 14, Morales’ lawyers allegedly submitted two medical certificates to the Tarija Prosecutor’s Office, one of which circulated on social networks and was attributed to Herland Munguía Poma. The document was reportedly used to justify Morales’ absence from a precautionary measures hearing on charges of human trafficking.

The physician working in El Alto discovered the misuse of his name and registration number when the certificates validating the bronchopneumonia allegedly affecting the coca growers’ leader, who was never examined by Munguía, began circulating on social networks.

“I want to clarify that this medical-legal document is being misused for purposes unknown. It is a false document. I do not know Mr. Evo Morales in person, I have never examined him, he is not my patient; this situation is false,” the doctor warned.

Morales must undergo a medical examination this Wednesday to confirm the illness claimed by his physicians. The resulting certificate must be submitted to the Prosecutor’s Office by Thursday at the latest so that the former MAS leader can attend the hearing scheduled for Friday, January 17.
