In 2025, the public health system in Angola was put under severe pressure due to public health emergencies, such as the cholera outbreak that affected the country, exposing structural vulnerabilities while also creating momentum for critical reforms and strategic investments.
In Angola, schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) remain significant public health challenges, affecting children's nutritional status, learning ability, and school performance, particularly in endemic regions.
Angola strengthened the institutional capacity of the national response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through a joint technical mission organized by the Ministry of Health, with specialized support from the World Health Organization (WHO), involving experts from Headquarters, the Regional Office for Africa, and the WHO Office in Angola.
Angola has begun the process of preparing its National Health Accounts (NHA) for the period 2020 to 2023, a strategic step towards strengthening efficiency and equity in health sector financing.
