Honduras is facing internal challenges regarding its healthcare system and migration management. The medical community, led by the Colegio Médico de Honduras, has initiated strikes and national assemblies to protest unpaid wages, labor instability, and unfulfilled government agreements. These actions have resulted in the suspension of elective surgeries and outpatient consultations at the Instituto Hondureño de Seguridad Social, though emergency services continue to operate.

Simultaneously, President Nasry Asfura is addressing the potential return of 55,000 migrants following the conclusion of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the United States, requesting a transition period to facilitate an orderly process.
