Conference on Access to Health in Mozambique

The health system plays a fundamental role in the sustainable and inclusive functioning and development of the entire society. However, this scenario is only possible when the uninterrupted quality of health services is guaranteed and, naturally, when access to these services is safeguarded for the entire society, without exceptions (WHO, 2019).

Health Citizenship

The right to health includes health care, provision of affordable medicines, access to information for making informed decisions about seeking, accessing and availing health care and services. For example, access to information and medical assistance are central axes for the promotion of a more active and participative citizenship, in which the duties of protection, promotion and preservation of health imply effects and consequences that go beyond individuals and generations . It was based on the recognition of the central role of the active participation of citizens in health issues that the School of Health Activism developed this course, from the hand of the Citizen Observatory for Health (OCS), with the collaboration of medicusmundi and funding from Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID).
