Mozambique’s health system expands coverage with more frontline community workers

In Mozambique, frontline health workers are the community’s first point of contact with the National Health System. They provide primary healthcare and teach communities about nutrition and disease prevention in urban and remote areas. Between 2018 and 2022, Mozambique exponentially increased the number of community health workers, from 1,000 in 2018 to 8,300 in 2022. Together, these community health workers reach an estimated two million households countrywide, up from 240,000 households in 2018.
