The Citizen’s Observatory for Health argued that Mozambique should think of strategies to reduce its external dependence, given the cut in US international aid, considering that the measure has a “huge impact” on the country.
According to the director of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), more than 70 percent of the Mozambican public health system in the areas of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, family planning, and laboratories depends on funds from donors, including the US government, which is among the main ones. Therefore, the suspension of funding has a “huge and significant impact” on the country’s health services.
