In Bolivia Christmas (Navidad) continues to be deeply religious, maintaining the original meaning and purpose of the holiday. Most families set up a “pesebre” (nativity scene) in their homes and churches usually have very large ones somewhere outside the main door. The word pesebre literally means "stable". Sometimes people call them "nacimientos" (nativity scenes).
Considered as one of the lowest among the Western Hemisphere countries, Bolivia’s healthcare system proves to be poor and struggling. According to the World Health Organization, Bolivia ranked 126th out of 190 countries all over the world when it comes to the quality of healthcare.
Landlocked Bolivia is equal in size to California and Texas combined.
