The Maputo Central Hospital (HCM) is Mozambique’s leading quaternary-level public health institution, combining advanced patient care with medical training and scientific research. With a history spanning more than a century, HCM has evolved into a national referral hospital, offering comprehensive services across nearly all medical and surgical specialties. It currently operates around 1,500 beds, distributed among multiple clinical departments and essential support units, ensuring access to specialized care for patients from across the country.
The hospital employs approximately 4,000 professionals, including physicians, nurses, administrative staff, and personnel in key support areas such as catering, laundry, sterilization, and security. This multidisciplinary workforce enables the hospital to maintain high standards of service delivery and operational efficiency.
In recent years, HCM has significantly expanded its technical capabilities, introducing advanced medical services such as a Hemodialysis Unit, orthopedic surgeries including hip and knee prosthetic replacements, and open-heart surgery using extracorporeal circulation. The hospital is also equipped with modern diagnostic technologies, including Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and mammography, supporting accurate and timely diagnosis.
Beyond healthcare delivery, HCM plays a central role in education and capacity building, training general practitioners, specialists, nurses, and technical staff across various health disciplines. It is also a key hub for clinical research, collaborating with national and international institutions to advance medical knowledge and improve healthcare outcomes.
