WHO Angola Annual Report for 2023
In 2023, Angola made significant strides in health. The country focused on enhancing health systems, integrated care, disease prevention, health security, and promoting healthier populations.
Key achievements included initiatives against malaria and tuberculosis, expansion of services for Neglected Tropical Diseases, development of an NCD control strategy, and increased hospital capacity. Efforts in maternal health, such as revitalizing the IMCI initiative, monitoring maternal and perinatal deaths, and conducting national polio vaccination campaigns, were notable. Even as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic decreased, Angola continued vaccinations and health security assessments.
The country also emphasized healthy cities and road safety, especially in densely populated Luanda. These efforts, in collaboration with health partners, have positioned Angola's health sector for continued improvement in line with its National Development Plan.
