| Background |
Over the past decade, Mozambique has made significant progress in the reduction of child mortality and various other health indicators. Nevertheless, huge challenges remain and the scaling-up of health service delivery is needed to ensure further progress. In line with government priorities and based on analytical studies conducted by the World Bank, the Ministry of Health requested the World Bank support to design and implement an integrated service delivery project. The Health Service Delivery Programme has been developed. The objective is to improve health coverage and the health status of the population in the three most disadvantaged provinces, located in the North of the country, Cabo Delgado, Niassa, and Nampula |
