One of the hardest hit sectors is the health sector, which is experiencing enormous difficulties. <\/p>\n The Angolan health system is free and fully state-supported”, explains Hernando Agudelo Ospina, the World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Angola.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Faced with the “black gold” crisis, the government has found itself obliged to cut the budget allocated to hospitals. According to Luis Bernardino, a doctor at the Public Pediatric Hospital in Luanda, the capital, the budget has been cut by 50%. He also points out that 25 people die every day in his hospital, most of them from malaria, the leading cause of death in Angola<\/a>, according to the WHO. <\/p>\n In addition, the country is facing its worst yellow fever epidemic in three decades. According to the World Health Organization, Angola has recorded 258 deaths out of 618 confirmed cases. In response, a massive vaccination campaign was organized in Luanda, the epicenter of the epidemic. Six million people were immunized. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – BLOCK 2 – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
