Mozambique has added 64 new doctors specialised in several areas to its national total of 694.

The physicians of Mozambican nationality were trained in the specialties of Anesthesia and Resuscitation, Cardiology, General Surgery, Maxillofacial Surgery, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Hematology, Internal Medicine, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Pulmonology and Urology.

The new specialists were unavailed during the closing ceremony of the medical residency 2018 (Medical Graduate) of the Central Hospital of Maputo (HCM) and handed over to the Ministry of Health for immediate placement in all provinces of the country.

Health Minister Nazira Abdula said she hoped doctors would see patients as a source of inspiration and would systematically offer them and their families comfort in any situation.

“We hope that they will be able to understand and respond to the pain of others, that they can demonstrate serenity and that they transmit safety, as well as the security transmitted by your tutors during the training process. Never forget your duty to serve with affection and devotion to the sick, who need our assistance,” she said.

The medical career is one of the most demanding. In today’s global world, there are constant mutations that lead to the emergence of new diseases.

This is a phenomenon that seems to be a huge challenge for health professionals who must be constantly learning to adapt to the changes imposed by globalisation.

It is in this context that the minister urged the new experts to continue the learning process by investigating further, “since only those who continue to increase their knowledge are professionally successful…to participate in the best way in the development of society. “

Nazira assured that the government, through MISAU, would continue to create conditions for retraining of doctors, investing in the development of the health sector at all levels, “so that the provision of health services to citizens is done with efficiency, professionalism and quality”.

HCM’s director-general, Mouzinho Saíde, said he was aware that the move to train new specialists was “very long”, but considers the delivery of specialized doctors as a clear indicator that Mozambique is making strides to provide safe and quality health services.

“This year, we will almost triple the number of trained medical specialists. I think we have clearly demonstrated that our commitment, as a hospital, is to continue to ensure that, in fact, the country has available qualified and well-trained medical specialists,” said Nazira.
