When floods blocked roads in parts of Mozambique, health product deliveries did not stop. Teams adapted.

After the suspension of the country’s Last Mile Monthly distribution system in January 2025, access to family planning, VMMC and HIV PrEP commodities was disrupted across many communities.

To help restore deliveries, the Central Medical Store (CMAM), with support from the Gates Foundation and technical assistance from VillageReach, launched the Emergency Family Planning Distribution Program.

The initiative is working across seven provinces and supporting deliveries to 1,975 health facilities. So far, 717 deliveries have already been completed.

Even in areas affected by severe flooding, logistics teams continued transporting products using boats, motorbikes and other alternative methods to ensure communities could still access essential services.

Every delivery represents resilience, collaboration and a continued commitment to strengthening health systems in Mozambique.
