Responding to health needs in Mozambique in wake of Cyclone Chido [1]

[]

Date: 2024-12

Maputo – The devastating impact of Cyclone Chido has affected more than 620 000 people in Mozambique, with the three northern provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa worst-hit by the cyclone which made landfall on 15 December 2024, damaging homes, schools and other crucial infrastructure. Forty-eight health facilities have been damaged and equipment and medical supplies destroyed.

The government has mounted a multisectoral emergency response, with support from partners, including World Health Organization (WHO) which has deployed emergency health officers to help conduct assessments in five districts in two provinces and establish temporary structures to meet the immediate health needs of injured people and ensure continuity of essential health services for people with chronic conditions.
