Mozambique: Creating a supportive environment that breaks down stigma and ensures access to HIV treatment

Mozambique faces one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world; 11.5 per cent of adults and children aged between 15 and 49 live with the virus. More than two million people are currently receiving antiretroviral (ARV) treatment.

The ongoing crisis in Cabo Delgado, in northeastern Mozambique, where armed conflict has been ongoing since 2017, has severely disrupted healthcare services, affecting the population overall, especially limiting access to HIV treatment for thousands.

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has been running medical and humanitarian activities in the region since 2019 to address the needs of the communities affected by the conflict. MSF is currently supporting the local Ministry of Health with medical staff, medicines donations and mental health support. The main challenges identified by our teams is the follow up of patients and fighting stigma in the community.
