Like for previous studies in Mozambique and elsewhere in Africa, the study confirms: a relatively high prevalence, a reluctance to talk about the issue and unawareness about procedures on how to report incidents. The findings reconfirm the necessity for the development and implementation of procedures to address violence incidents towards HCW, to develop support services for victims of health workplace violence. Like elsewhere in Africa, successive health workforce plans in Mozambique have failed to address this issue.
