- Minister of Health Armindo Daniel Tiago has been on a working visit in Brazil since Monday, as part of bilateral cooperation. His trip will run until November 12th, and foresees the signing of “several agreements”
The Mozambican government hopes to count on the support of Brazilian doctors and nurses to meet the needs of the state program that foresees the construction of a hospital in every district of the country by 2030, it was announced this Wednesday.
“They are part of the challenges facing the Mozambican health sector and will embody the agreements to be signed by the health sectors of the two states, the establishment of partnerships for the accelerated training of specialist doctors, the establishment of a pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology in health, among others,” the Ministry of Health ( MISAU ) explains.
In the same communiqué, MISAU recalls that Brazil “is recognized worldwide for its strong potential in the pharmaceutical industry, in the biotechnology innovation system and in the training of specialist doctors”.
“The specialist training agreements to be signed during this visit by the Minister of Health will also enable the provision of specialist doctors and more, to meet the demand resulting from the presidential ‘One District, One District Hospital’ initiative. Among other human resources, the presidential initiative requires professionals specialised in nursing, intensive care, instrumentation and anaesthesiology, and other priority areas of medical specialties,” it continues.
“The agreements in the training area to be reached during the visit will allow the sending of Mozambican doctors to Brazil and, also, the arrival of Brazilian specialists to train specialist doctors in Mozambique.”

In Maputo in July, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Ghebreyesus welcomed the “One district, one hospital” government programme launched in 2019, recognizing that investments in health would be vital in the post-pandemic period.
“We agree that more investments are needed in health after Covid-19,” Ghebreyesus declared following a meeting he held with the Mozambican president at the time.
The meeting, he said, served to discuss the Mozambique government’s programme to implement from scratch health infrastructure equipped with modern services, with the aim of reducing the transfer of patients to reference hospitals.
The WHO director-general explained that his meeting with Filipe Nyusi made it possible to analyse the “necessary investments” to implement the programme of “basic health units through a new impact investment platform” in the health sector in Mozambique.
