Rovuma basin operators support the rehabilitation of Maganja Health Clinic
The Maganja Health Clinic, which historically has served about 3,000 people a year, was officially re-opened yesterday by the Governor of Cabo Delgado, Valige Tauabo, after extensive rehabilitation works, which included the roof, walls and floor, the complete electrical circuit as well as painting the building. During the rehabilitation works, the communities used alternative facilities including a temporary facility in Maganja provided by Mozambique LNG, the newly-built health clinic in Quitunda, the resettlement village and the existing facilities in Palma Sede.
At the re-opening ceremony of the Clinic, the Governor of Cabo Delgado said that “the inauguration of the Maganja Health Clinic symbolizes an important milestone in improving the health and well-being of our populations. It is, once again, clear evidence of the commitment that our Government has in responding to the needs of the people. We are grateful to our cooperation partners who have done everything to respond to our requests”.
Ronan Bescond, Country Chair of Total in Mozambique and Vice President of the Mozambique LNG project said: “the health and well-being of our workers and local communities are a priority for us. Our support for the rehabilitation of this clinic is part of our extended support for community health. We therefore join the efforts of the Government of Mozambique to improve the health care of Mozambicans, in particular, in the Afungi communities.”
“The rehabilitation of the Maganja Health Clinic is critically important, not only for access to health care by the Maganja and surrounding community, but as a demonstration of community perseverance and resilience,” said Jos Evens, General Manager and Lead Country Manager for ExxonMobil Moçambique, Limitada
The Maganja Health Clinic is the primary health-services provider for the Maganja, Nfunzi and Kibunju communities on the Afungi Peninsula, offering general practitioner services, maternity care, paediatrics, vaccination, public health advice and information.
