What We Do
HIV
For over a decade, CDC has supported Mozambique’s Ministry of Health (MoH) in delivering HIV prevention, care, and treatment services, as well as strengthening laboratory, surveillance, and workforce capacity. CDC has supported operational research in all 11 provinces and provides clinical support for the seven provinces that comprise 75% of the country’s total HIV burden. Additionally, CDC supports the delivery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to nearly 300,000 adults and children in Mozambique, and is helping to introduce viral load and drug resistance testing for patients.
TB
CDC has been providing direct technical assistance to the National TB Program in Mozambique for nearly 10 years, focusing on integration of TB/HIV services, strengthening of surveillance systems, and diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant TB. Additionally, CDC has been collaborating with US Government partners, and the government of Mozambique to improve the capacity of two regional laboratories.
