Excerpt
Mozambique's protracted war, which ended relatively recently, created several million internally displaced persons and brought about the destruction of about half the country's schools and health units. About 70% of the population of some 17 million live in rural areas and suffer extreme poverty. The infant mortality rate is approximately 150 per 1000 live births, and life expectancy at birth is around 49 years. There are only about 400 doctors, or one per 45 000 population. The small numbers of surgeons and obstetricians/gynaecologists practise only in the main towns.
