Édgar Pozo Valdivia (born 1948) is a Bolivian cardiologist, who served as the Minister of Health and Sports from 9 November 2020 until 16 January 2021 when he was forced to leave office after contracting COVID-19.

[4] In 2016, he was appointed director of the National Thorax Institute (INT) where he worked to improve the conditions of the health system and denounced the shortcomings that made it difficult to care for patients.

At a press conference, Pozo described the usage of chlorine dioxide as "permissible" and announced that the ministry would conduct a study into its use in order to "produce a broader knowledge about its benefits."

Soon after, the head of Human Resources of the CNS, Paola Monje, denied there had been outside influence or nepotism in the institution and stated that Pozo Goytia had voluntarily resigned.
