Newly-installed containerized surgical block in Cabo Delgado

The outside of a containerized surgical block, newly-installed and in operation with support from UNFPA (under programs funded by the Governments of the UK (FCDO) and Austria, and UN CERF) to provide basic and emergency obstetric care.

 

The surgical block operates in remote areas of Cabo Delgado, including in Metuge district, where close and timely access to health facilities may be limited.

 

The medical team is grateful for the surgical block as they can attend to obstetric complications in a timely manner, as opposed to having to refer patients to a primary hospital requiring travel and additional time.
