The health sector in Mozambique has made
significant progress in terms of increasing coverage of
services. However, health remains a major concern in the
area of poverty reduction. The study describes the health
status of the population, especially of the poor, and how
the sector responds to the needs. Huge inequalities continue
to exist with regards to resource allocation, deployment of
staff and availability of services among various geographic
areas, between the urban and rural population, and between
the poor and the non-poor. The study builds upon the
existing studies on health and consolidates the sector
knowledge. Based on the analysis, the study makes various
recommendations on how the health sector reforms can be made
more pro-poor by focusing on certain interventions, by
targeting certain areas and population groups, by designing
new delivery models that would bring the services closer to
the population, and by improving financial management to
serve the poor more effectively. |
