Abstract
Serving large catchment areas, rural hospitals (RH) in Mozambique are the first level of care where comprehensive response to perinatal complications begins. This one-page policy brief provides an overview of the maternal and child health care strategies and contexts for obstetric care in Mozambique. Strengthening the continuum of perinatal care is still required and recommended through a systemic approach. Vertical solutions and “one size-fits-all facilities” should be avoided.
