Purchasing power of civil servant health workers in Mozambique.

  • Autores: Amaral M, Ferrinho F, Ferrinho P, Russo G
  • Journal: The Pan African Medical Journal

Health workers’ purchasing power is an important consideration in the development of strategies for health workforce development. This work explores the purchasing power variation of Mozambican public sector health workers, between 1999 and 2007. In general, the calculated purchasing power increased for most careers under study, and the highest percentage increase was observed for the lowest remuneration careers, contributing in this way for a relative reduction in the difference between the higher and the lower salaries.
