| Abstract | In early 2019, following the 2015–2016 severe drought,
the provinces of Sofala and Cabo Delgado, Mozambique,
were hit by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth, respectively. These
were the deadliest and most destructive cyclones in the
country’s history. Currently, these two provinces host tens
of thousands of vulnerable households due to the climatic
catastrophes and the massive influx of displaced people
associated with violent terrorist attacks plaguing Cabo
Delgado. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic added
a new challenge to this already critical scenario, serving as
a real test for Mozambique’s public health preparedness.
On the planetary level, Mozambique can be viewed as a
‘canary in the coal mine’, harbingering to the world the
synergistic effects of co-occurring
anthropogenic and
natural disasters. Herein, we discuss how the COVID-19
pandemic has accentuated the need for an effective and
comprehensive public health response in a country already
deeply impacted by health problems associated with
natural disasters and population displacement | pt_BR |
