Ending fistula requires stronger health systems and universal access to timely, quality care.
An estimated 500,000 women and girls live with this preventable condition, driven by unequal access to maternal healthcare.

What does it take to expand access to sexual and reproductive health services in Mozambique?
Today’s Ipas Moçambique Steering Committee brought together partners to look at what’s working, and what still needs to change. One thing is clear: progress depends on community-led action and stronger health systems that can deliver consistent, quality care.
Across Niassa, Nampula and Zambézia, this work is already making a difference. More women and girls are accessing services, more communities are engaging in dialogue, and more providers are equipped to deliver care that is respectful and rights-based.
But challenges remain, from supply constraints to barriers rooted in social norms. Addressing these requires continued coordination, investment, and a focus on systems that work for people.
Canada is working with Ipas Moçambique and partners to support this effort, with a shared goal: ensuring women and girls can make informed choices about their health and futures. .

O que é necessário para expandir o acesso aos serviços de saúde sexual e reprodutiva em Moçambique?
O Comité de Direção Ipas Moçambique de hoje reuniu parceiros para analisar o que está a funcionar e o que ainda precisa de mudar. Uma coisa é clara: o progresso depende da ação comunitária e de sistemas de saúde mais fortes, capazes de garantir serviços de qualidade.
Em Niassa, Nampula e Zambézia, este trabalho já está a fazer a diferença. Mais mulheres e raparigas estão a aceder aos serviços, as comunidades estão mais envolvidas e os provedores estão melhor preparados para oferecer cuidados baseados nos direitos.
Persistem desafios, desde limitações no abastecimento até barreiras sociais. Superá-los exige coordenação contínua, investimento e foco em sistemas que funcionem para as pessoas.
O Canadá trabalha com Ipas Moçambique e parceiros para apoiar este esforço, com um objetivo comum: garantir que mulheres e raparigas possam tomar decisões informadas sobre a sua saúde e o seu futuro. .

The highlights that in challenging and uncertain times, Canada’s economy has remained resilient, supported by strong fundamentals that have sustained stability and long term growth.

We continue to stand out with:
🇨🇦 the second-fastest growing G7 economy
🇨🇦 a 20-year high ($97 billion) of direct investment into Canada last year
🇨🇦 trade agreements spanning 51 countries and nearly two-thirds of global gross domestic product

Canada’s sound fiscal position and having what the world needs continue to be key strengths in supporting stability today and opportunity tomorrow.
