Supporting the Mozambican Ministry of Health (MISAU) With Human Resources for Health to Achieve Hiv Epidemic Control Under the President?s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) - With an Adult Prevalence Rate of 13.2%, Mozambique Has One of the Highest Rates of Hiv in Sub-saharan Africa and the Second Largest Population of People Living With Hiv (PLHIV) in the World, With 2.2 Million Plhiv and an Estimated 150,000 New Infections Annually. Although Enormous Strides Have Been Made in Hiv Prevention and Treatment, an Estimated 51,000 Adults and Children Die of Aids Each Year. Despite Ministry of Health (MISAU) Emphasis on the Joint United Nations Programme on Hiv/aids 95-95-95 Targets, Mozambique Underperforms Against Targets Compared to Its Neighbors. the Global Targets Can Only Be Met by Increasing Access to and Supply of Qualified Health Professionals, Technical Specialists and Administrative Support Staff in Regions of High Hiv Burden. Misau Needs Effective Planning and Control Mechanisms to Respond to Health Care Demands and Help With the Planning and Allocation of Human Resources for Health (HRH) in a Consistent, Controlled and Equitable Manner.
