Chilean Deputy Andrés Celis suspends duties for medical procedure

Chilean Deputy Andrés Celis has announced a temporary suspension of his parliamentary duties to undergo a bone marrow transplant. The procedure is intended to treat myelodysplasia, a genetic condition he has lived with since birth.

Due to the high complexity of the intervention and the subsequent recovery process, Celis will be unable to perform his functions or conduct field work in District 7. As part of his decision, he has resigned from his position as President of the Health Commission to ensure the committee can continue its operations without interruption under active leadership.
