چکیده
Medical care in Mozambique is mostly provided through the national health service of the Ministry of Health. All primary healthcare and HIV-related services are provided free of charge. There are over 1500 public sector health facilities in Mozambique and most of these are primary healthcare centres. Although all hospitals have a laboratory, only a quarter of the health centres have a formal laboratory. In this context, point-of-care (POC) testing and syndromic management of diseases play an important role in the health system.
