In Mozambique, health services are mostly provided by the public sector, and it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health (MISAU) to enable the creation, planning and control of national health policies. The health sector is the third sector that absorbs most resources from the State Budget (OE), followed by the Education and Infrastructure sectors, according to the methodology presented in the budget documents related to the economic and social sectors. This sector is divided into three levels: namely, the Central Level, which is represented by MISAU; The Provincial Level, which is represented by the Provincial Health Directorates (DPS); and Finally, we have the District Level, which is represented by the Health, Women and Social Action Secretariats (SDSMAS). Therefore, it will be based on these levels that our analysis of allocations to the health sector in the period from 2015 to 2020 will be undertaken.
