Last Thursday, September 14th, medicusmundi team in Cabo Delgado’s province had the honour of being received by the Honourable Administrator of the District of Namuno, Mrs. Maria Felisbela Félix Lázaro.
The meeting's objectives were the presentation of the new provincial coordinator of medicusmundi, Momeno Mbamela, replacing Daniel Rodrigues; and updating the activities planned for this district.
In this sense, it is important to highlight medicusmundi's support to the Namuno district with the short-term delivery of 2 motorized ambulances and the rehabilitation of the Nanrapa Health Centre, including the maintenance of its electrical installation. Also, in Nanrapa, it is worth noting the installation of another tent to provide basic health services, next to the respective health facility.
"this will further encourage pregnant women to go to this health facility and to increase institutional deliveries"
However, the main support will be the construction in the coming months of a new maternity hospital in the town of Meloco, thus expanding the facilities of the current Health Centre.
During the meeting, the Administrator of the Namuno district expressed her satisfaction with the construction of the maternity at the Meloco Health Centre, as this will further encourage pregnant women to go to this health facility and to increase institutional deliveries.
These activities fall within the scope of development and humanitarian action projects, implemented by medicusmundi in Cabo Delgado and financed by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
