    Mental health law in Bolivia
    (Cambridge University Press, 2015) Anne Aboaja; Guillermo Rivera Arroyo; Liz Grant
    Bolivia's mental health plan is not currently embedded in mental health legislation or a legal framework, though in 2014 legislative change was proposed that would begin to provide protection and support for the hospital admission, treatment and care of people with mental disorders in Bolivia. Properly resourced, regulated and rights-based mental health practice is still required. Mental healthcare in the primary care setting should be prioritised, and safeguards are needed for the autonomy of all patients, including all those in vulnerable and cared-for groups, including those in prisons.
