Place of Duty:
Chiure is
a rural district in the Province of Cabo Delgado. It has constantly improved
services in the last 5 years, but life in the district remains secluded and
rural. It is the most populated district of the Cabo Delgado Province in
Mozambique and holds about 250'000 inhabitants. 10 primary Health care
centres with a total of about 100 health staff serve the population. A
district hospital is about to open in the Chiure town, which is thought to
bring many much needed additional health services (e.g. diagnostic methods
and surgery, including C-Sections). To ensure that the expectations and
demand to the hospital can be met, SolidarMed plans to support the start-up
of this state-owned hospital which is currently relying on motivated but
inexperienced and young and staff.
