Health Promotion Project improves the provision of health services in Cabo Delgado

The provision of water and sanitation services and the construction of health infrastructures has improved considerably in Cabo Delgado province, as a direct result of the implementation of the Health Promotion project in that province since 2010, funded by the Swiss Embassy in Mozambique. This was confirmed by the Governor of Cabo Delgado Province, Valige Tauabo, speaking during the meeting of the first Supervision Committee of the project, held on the 25th of this month in Pemba.

On the event, the representative of the Swiss Embassy in Mozambique, Philippe Poyo, stressed the commitment to continue supporting the government of Cabo Delgado in developing resilient, accessible and quality health systems. He also urged the provincial executive to ensure the sustainability of the progress made with the implementation of the project, by developing strategies to mobilize funding. 

The event was attended by representatives of the health sector at various levels and partners, district administrators and technicians, and Helvetas (the organization coordinating the implementation of the project).
