Graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of the Republic in Montevideo in 1972 (majoring in radiation oncology). He served as chair of the radiology department at the same university. He opened the first clinic in the Lateja district of Montevideo, where he spent his childhood. He was a long-time member of the Uruguayan Socialist Party (PSU), and in 1987 became a member of the party's Central Committee. In 1989, he ran for the General Front of the Left Alliance (FA) and was elected mayor of Montevideo. In 2004, he won 50.45% of the vote in his third presidential election. He was inaugurated as president in March 2005, and established Uruguay's first left-wing government.

Soon after taking office, he announced a $200 million National Emergency Social Program to address the poverty of an estimated 20% of the population. He also achieved successes such as reviving the economy, which had been suffering from negative growth for many years, and launching an investigation into human rights violations committed during the military junta of 1973-1985. In 2008, he left the PSU after it supported a bill to legalize abortion.
