Mozambique faces significant challenges in public conditions, particularly in healthcare and education. The healthcare system is underfunded and struggles with high rates of infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, which are leading causes of death. The infant mortality rate remains high, at approximately 67 deaths per 1,000 live births, reflecting inadequate maternal and child healthcare services. Life expectancy is around 60 years, influenced by both health and socio-economic factors. Educational access is improving, yet quality remains a concern, contributing to low literacy rates. Religious freedom is generally respected, but there are occasional tensions among different faiths. These factors collectively highlight the need for sustained efforts in improving public services and health outcomes in Mozambique.
Mozambique is located in southeastern Africa, bordered by Tanzania to the north, Malawi and Zambia to the northwest, South Africa and Eswatini to the southwest, and the Indian Ocean to the east. The climate varies from subtropical to tropical, with a coastal plain, plateaus, and mountains in the interior.
