Friends in Global Health, Mozambique
The Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health (VIGH) currently supports HIV care and treatment programs in six rural districts within Zambézia Province (Ilé, Alto Molòcué, Namacurra, Inhassunge, Lugela and Gilé) and is currently in the process of expanding services to six additional districts (adding Maganja da Costa, Mopeia, Morrumbala, Namarroi, Pebane, and Chinde). Zambézia is one of Mozambique’s poorest and the second most populous province, with 3,892,854 inhabitants (2007 Census), and an estimated HIV prevalence of 19% (2007 sentinel data). The prevalence of HIV among pregnant women tested in ANC clinics ranged from 7 to 35% in the four sentinel sites of Zambézia Province. A large proportion of Mozambique’s population is very poor (Mozambique ranks 175 of 179 in the 2008/2009 UNDP Human Development Index) and has limited access to health care, as approximately 40% walk more than 20 km to reach a primary care facility. In addition, the country has one of the worst healthcare worker to population ratios in the world.
