The new Lin Medcare clinic in Maputo – committed to providing quality health services at low cost – was inaugurated on Thursday.

Speaking on the occasion, the Secretary of State for the City of Maputo Vicente Joaquim invited the entity to join the government in the fight against the various diseases that afflict the country.

During the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Lin Group invested in outpatient services, providing pre-hospital care and evacuation of critically ill patients.

Now, the company has invested in a clinic, Lin Medcare, equipped to provide services in the areas of internal medicine, with the emphasis on 4D ultrasound and orthopaedics.

The new entity has 16 beds, several care units covering outpatient consultations, an operating room, emergency services, maternity, laboratories, pharmacies, 24/7 ambulance service and home care.

“To inaugurate Lin Medcare is to commit to being part of the country’s efforts to ensure that our co-citizens find high standard health responses in the national territory,” chairman of the Lin Group board of directors Lineu Cordeiro said.

Cordeiro observed that one in 65 women dies during childbirth in Mozambique, three times the global average, and it was in view of these figures that Grupo Lin had imported the latest technology for the maternity clinic which it has just opened.

In turn, Secretary of State for the City of Maputo, Vicente Joaquim, said that the hospital unit increased the capital’s response capacity, and left a challenge.

“We want to urge Lin Medcare to always have as a reference in its performance the continuous improvement of the services it provides through the rapid adaptation to current requirements in the domain of science and technological tools,” he said.

Fernando Couto, representing the Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA), said that the initiative was a source of pride for the private business sector, as it showed that it was increasingly possible for young people with Mozambican capital to develop businesses and generate jobs.
