Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Bolivia?
We list 30, in 3 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
La Paz, with 21 of the 30.
Is English unusual for doctors in Bolivia?
88% of the 34 doctors we hold in Bolivia are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
