World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, took a first-hand look at response efforts to save lives and protect health for the people in Beira, the city hardest hit by Cyclone Idai in Mozambique.
To expand the emergency response, WHO has deployed experts, including epidemiologists, logisticians and disease-prevention experts, to build a 40-strong team.
WHO is helping to restore primary care services so that facilities can deliver essential services, including immunization, basic treatment for common illnesses, acute malnutrition and maternal care while ensuring the ongoing supply of medications for people living with HIV, tuberculosis or diabetes.
On her visit to Beira, Moeti visited the Central Hospital, a general health centre, a cholera treatment centre and two field hospitals set up by emergency medical teams from Italy and Portugal. She also visited a health clinic in a settlement camp where more than 1000 people are living temporarily.
