Overview of health
challenges

As per a recent CDC report, HIV is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Mozambique and affects 13% of the adult population. Based on 2020 data from the WHO and MOH, approximately 12,400 TB-related deaths occur in Mozambique each year. The HIV epidemic complicates the TB epidemic, with almost half of annual TB-related annual deaths occurring among people living with HIV.

Communicable diseases in Mozambique are a major public health problem leading to high morbidity and mortality rates among the population. An elevated poliovirus activity has also been reported in Mozambique and health officials identified 21 polio cases, of which eight cases were wild poliovirus (WPV), and the remaining 13 cases were circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV).
