The government of Mozambique has approved the Cholera Elimination Plan, valued at 31 billion meticais (about 490 million U.S. dollars), aiming to eradicate the disease as a public health threat by 2030, the Mozambique News Agency reported.
The announcement was made Tuesday in Maputo by Council of Ministers spokesperson Inocencio Impissa, following the Cabinet’s 32nd ordinary session.
He said the plan will be funded through the state budget, bilateral and multilateral partners, public-private partnerships, and philanthropic organizations.
Cholera remains endemic in several parts of Mozambique and across the globe, Impissa said, adding that “the disease is multifactorial and its control and elimination requires actions targeting the main determinants of the disease.”
The plan, he stressed, reflects the government’s commitment to an integrated and multisectoral approach.
“It is the government’s vision to achieve a Mozambique free from cholera as a public health problem by 2030, where communities have access to safe water, sanitation and quality healthcare, achieved through multisectoral actions, coordinated and informed by scientific evidence,” Impissa added.
In May, the United Nations Children’s Fund and the World Health Organization delivered 2.3 million doses of cholera vaccines to Mozambique, aimed at protecting children over one year old and their families in high-risk areas.
