On July 15, the Provincial Director of Health of Cabo Delgado, Dr. Magid Sabune, visited the Quirinde Community Health Post, in Palma District, and the Ntotwe Community Health Post, in Mocímboa da Praia District, for the provisional handover of their infrastructure, marking the completion of construction works.

The two units are part of a set of eight community health posts to be built in priority rural locations across the province, following the Ministry of Health’s standard design, with the support of the Mozambique LNG Foundation. Each post is designed to provide basic consultations, maternal and child health services, and referral to higher-level care for approximately 2,500 people, and includes solar-powered access to water and electricity.

Community health posts, alongside an expanded network of multipurpose health agents, form the core of the Ministry of Health’s Community Health Subsystem Strategy.
