A hospital equipped with state-of-the-art technology could be built in one of Mozambique’s northern provinces in partnership with the Office of the Wife of the President of the Republic, Isaura Nyusi, who last Thursday concluded a working visit to the United States of America.
The planned health unit will offer multiple modern health services and will help to relieve the pressure on large hospitals seeking to treat diseases that need specialised care such as cancer.
In a meeting with the delegation of the First Lady’s Office, cooperation partners expressed their willingness to support Mozambique in solving population health problems, especially in rural areas.
Rashid Ahmed, who spoke on behalf of the partners, said there was a strong desire to support Mozambique and that these small gestures represented only the beginning of a relationship that was intended to last.
Isaura Nyusi said the results of the visit to the United States were positive because of partners’ willingness to help the country in the search for diagnostic solutions to diseases, one of its current main concerns.
The First Lady said that during the discussions the partners showed a strong desire to collaborate and support Mozambique in responding to the challenges posed by the difficulties of access to health, with the emphasis on rural areas.
Isaura Nyusi said the provision of diagnostic equipment was a manifestation of the commitment of the First Lady’s Office to its role of supporting government efforts to solve the problems affecting the Mozambican population.
“They are willing to continue this partnership long term and support us in everything that is needed for the health sector and other areas. We welcome their willingness to visit our country to find out about our concerns, and we can certainly develop other perspectives from there,” the First Lady said.
Isaura Nyusi said that challenges remained in improving health infrastructure and adapting hospital equipment for better diagnosis and subsequent treatment of diseases.
The First Lady also said that the expectation was for continuous technological improvement in the health sector through the introduction of advanced technologies and training of staff in the operation and maintenance of equipment.
