This project aims to comprehensively\u00a0<strong>strengthen the public health system<\/strong>, promote innovative practices and contribute to the sustainability and social development of the province\u2019s population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The event was chaired by Bendita Donaciano Lopes, Secretary of State for the province of Inhambane, who reaffirmed the Mozambican Government\u2019s commitment to improving access to high-quality eye care. The event was also attended by a number of key figures from the provincial health sector, as well as representatives from partner institutions and organisations.<\/p>\n<p>The first phase of the Ophthalmology Block\u00a0<strong>comprises four consultation rooms, two inpatient wards with a total of twenty-four beds, an optician\u2019s and a storeroom<\/strong>. This new facility will enable an increase in the number of ophthalmological consultations and surgeries, improve clinical and post-operative care for patients, and provide a\u00a0<strong>more effective and high-quality response<\/strong>\u00a0to the needs of the local population.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36016 size-large\" title=\"The Secretary of State, healthcare workers and the coordinator of the Eyes of Mozambique project in front of the commemorative plaque\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2-1024x698.jpeg\" alt=\"The Secretary of State, healthcare workers and the coordinator of the Eyes of Mozambique project in front of the commemorative plaque\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2-1024x698.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2-300x204.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2-768x523.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2-1536x1046.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ullsdelmon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/secretaria-estat-inauguracio-bloc-quirurgic-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This initiative reaffirms the joint commitment of the Government and its partners to ensuring access to eye care as a fundamental right, promoting dignity, inclusion and an improved quality of life.
