Mozambique: No Cash for Govt for COVID-19

[Mozambique News Reports And Clippings] Not one penny in cash, health donors told the government. Donors will provide $48 mn for the Ministry of Health for COVID-19, and donors will do all the procurement. This is far less than the $700 mn Finance Minister Adriano Maleiane wanted, but close to what the Ministry of Health said it really needed. (Carta de Mocambique 13 Apr) Government is no longer trusted even to buy basic medical equipment. Purchases under way include 140 ventilators, 100 cardiac monitors, 1000 body bags, and other items.
