Portugal aids health sector

    JOHANNESBURG

    Portugal will give Mozambique an estimated US $12 million to improve its health care sector, media reports said on Friday.

Aurelio Zilhao, the Mozambican health minister, said that nursing was a priority in his country, particularly the training of midwives.
