Mozambique

HAI was founded in 1987, under the name Mozambique Health Committee, to support Mozambique’s Ministry of Health (MISAU) to rebuild their damaged health infrastructure following years of armed conflict.

Located on the southeastern coast of Africa, Mozambique’s population is both one of the fastest growing in the world [#16] and one of the poorest [#7]. However, 40 years ago, the country looked to be on a very different trajectory.

Following a decade-long resistance movement, Mozambique won independence from Portugal in 1975 and set to work forming a new government committed to social justice. In fact, Mozambique’s early embrace of a free public education and primary health care systems gained global attention.  Unfortunately, so did their support for anti-apartheid movements in neighboring Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) and South Africa.  

MEET CSM

As of October 2021, HAI fully transferred all global operations and active Mozambique programs to Comité para a Saúde de Moçambique (CSM), an independent local NGO with a board, leadership, and staff that reflects the communities they serve.

Follow CSM and stay up to date on their full portfolio by clicking any CSM logo on this website.

 “We didn’t talk about data before the IDEAs programme the way that we’re talking about it in the data review meetings. We didn’t talk about it, and we didn’t make an action plan”

– MCH Nurse, Búzi District

~$4 MILLION

In the wake of 2019’s Cyclone Idai, HAI helped identify and coordinate nearly $4 million dollars worth of resources in support of Mozambique’s National Health Service response.

17 YEARS

In 2003, 17 years after the first HIV diagnosis in Mozambique, HAI helped elaborate and implement the first national HIV/AIDS treatment business plan, offering HIV treatment through the nationl health system for the first time. 

100+

In close partnership with the Beira Operations Research Center (CIOB), HAI provides technical assistance and training to Mozambican health researchers.  This has resulted in more than 100 health system studies, publications, and presentations by Mozambican health professionals

In response, the apartheid governments of Rhodesia and South Africa waged a 15-year-long proxy war against the progressive government of Mozambique.  This, coupled with harsh austerity measures imposed by international lenders resulted in a severely under-resourced national health system left to face the global AIDS and MDR-TB crises, widespread poverty and malnutrition, and a growing mental health burden.

This is the context in which HAI supported, and CSM continues to support, the Mozambican Ministry of Health in building a strong, resilient public sector health system.

Today, CSM carries on HAI’s legacy in Mozambique with a diverse portfolio of health system strengthening engagements.  From leadership & management training focused on data-driven decision making under our multi-year IDEAs Project, to taking on some of the most complicated and underresourced health threats in Mozambique: tuberculosis, hypertension, and mental health.

Explore HAI’s Portfolio of recent Mozambique-based programs below.

HAI is not in a district or health facility with their own program. They are part of the public system itself. They are integrated. […] HAI was crucial when some organizations did not believe that they could do things in an integrated manner. HAI provided the example: to follow one program, which is the country’s program.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote policies and support programs that strengthen government primary health care and foster social, economic, and health equity for all. Our vision is a just world that promotes health and well-being, including universal access to quality health care.

Our History

Health Alliance International began in 1987 as a US-based international solidarity organization committed to supporting the public sector provision of health care for all.  Over 35 years, HAI conducted programs in 17 countries, with flagship programs in Mozambique, Côte d'Ivoire, and Timor-Leste.

Our Evolution

In line with HAI’s commitment to support and strengthen local public health leadership, as of October 2021, HAI fully transitioned global operations and active programs to locally-based, locally-led NGOs. Learn more about this shift toward local autonomy and equity in global health.
