Health Sector Strategic Plan

The Ministry of Health has developed Health Sector Strategic Plans (PESS) since 2000, to guide the development of the Mozambican Health System, particularly the National Health Service (NHS) and improve the health status of the population. This mission is based on two pillars at the core of the PESS: the first pillar, called “More and Better Quality Services” basically aims to speed up progress to realise commitments in areas such as maternal and neonatal mortality, malnutrition, reducing the burden of malaria, HIV, TB and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD). This is to be achieved through increasing health promotion activities and improving access to quality, key interventions, including quick wins. The second pillar comprises a holistic reform agenda focusing on decentralization that aims to strengthen the health system, sustaining current and future gains and promoting equity in health.
