The Provincial Directorate of Health of Cabo Delgado initiated the training of 200 Multipurpose Health Agents (APS) in the city of Pemba with the support of the  Mozambique LNG Foundation. This initiative aims to strengthen community health services in 15 of the province’s 17 districts, covering about 28% of the current human resource deficit in this area.

These agents plays an essential role in health promotion and disease prevention, especially among the most remote communities. This project is part of the Foundation’s commitment to early childhood development, recognizing that access to basic health care is fundamental for the healthy development of children and the well-being of families.

The training, which includes technical and practical content developed by the Ministry of Health, prepares agents to respond effectively to community needs, as part of the national health policy and the strategy for the development of the community health subsystem .
