Three hospitals in northern Mozambique join forces to perform a thousand surgeries in a week

Three hospitals in Nampula, northern Mozambique, plan to perform around 1,000 surgeries in one week to address a backlog of over 2,000 patients waiting for hernia and hydrocele operations. The initiative, organized by the Ministry of Health, aims to reduce waiting times and will take place from November 9 to 14. Medical teams from the Central Hospital of Maputo will assist local staff, ensuring all professionals involved are Mozambican. Additionally, a health caravan will be held on November 14, offering various medical specialties to patients from Nampula and neighboring provinces. The campaign's official launch is scheduled for November 11, led by the Minister of Health.
