Ministry Of Health, Mozambique

The Ministry of Health in Mozambique is a national government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since March 2010, with its current registration valid until February 2026. As a foreign government structure, the organization is primarily focused on public health initiatives and collaborates with U.S. federal agencies to implement comprehensive health programs. Located in Maputo, Mozambique, the ministry plays a critical role in addressing national and global health challenges, particularly in areas of disease prevention, healthcare delivery, and public health infrastructure development.

The Ministry of Health has been a key recipient of federal grant awards, most notably a substantial 5-year cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) valued at $12,185,408 under the CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance program. This grant specifically supports integrated HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs as part of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). As a subrecipient, the ministry has worked with prime grantees such as Research Triangle Institute and Emory University to conduct specialized health research focused on water systems, enteric pathogens, gut microbiome, and advancing national public health institutes. The grant awards aim to enhance disease surveillance, conduct epidemiological investigations, build laboratory capacity, improve public health communications, and provide technical assistance to strengthen the health system and address health disparities in Mozambique. The ministry's federal grant work demonstrates a comprehensive approach to public health that spans research, capacity building, and direct intervention strategies.
