Health services in Mozambique are provided for by the “Ministério de Saúde” (commonly known as MISAU or the Ministry of Health) through hospitals, health centers, and health posts. Mozambique′ s current government sees health as the main priority, and will more likely subtract funds from other important sectors, such as education and infrastructure, before cutting funds from the health sector.
The current public healthcare policy is based on the principle that all Mozambicans should have access to quality care at an equitable price, however, the system in Mozambique is basic and limited. Furthermore, Public healthcare in Mozambique is unlikely to be of the standards expected by most expats. Public hospitals are subject to frequent staff and supply shortages, and most have excessively long waiting times for even basic care.
However, expats are not entitled to public healthcare so are forced to rely on a handful of private healthcare facilities, most of which are found in Maputo.
