Maria* was nine months pregnant with her second child; she knew what to expect. But as she made her way to the local health center where she was to give birth, Maria began to bleed. By the time she arrived, she was hemorrhaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The nurse on duty quickly arranged for an ambulance to take her to Quissico District Hospital for a blood transfusion. Fortunately, Maria survived. Her baby, however, did not.<\/p>\n<p>Later that night, as Maria was preparing to be discharged, a nurse approached and told her that she had to pay the equivalent of 70 USD for the blood and plasma she had received. It was a huge sum for Maria, who, like many Mozambicans, gets by on the food she farms and the small amount she makes selling some of her harvest at the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was outraged,\u201d recalls Maria. \u201c[But the nurse] said there\u2019s no other way. \u2018You can\u2019t leave here until you pay. That\u2019s the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[My family and I] borrowed money and pieced together half of the amount. We explained to her that after we buried the baby we would come back with the rest. The nurse said we could go but my health card and ID card had to stay with her to ensure I\u2019d return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A week after the funeral, the nurse began to call, pressuring the grieving mother to pay. Maria was at a loss as to what to do. She needed her ID and health card back, but she had borrowed all the money she could.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"lead2\">\u201cI was really sad,\u201d confesses Maria. \u201cFirst I lost my child, and then they charged me this fee. It was really so much money. \u2026 That\u2019s when I called my cousin [for advice].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maria\u2019s cousin put her in touch with C\u00e9zar, a Namati health advocate, and the Quissico village health committee (VHC). They explained to Maria that paying for blood or plasma is not, as the nurse said, \u201cthe law\u201d. In fact, requesting payment for any health services or supplies that are supposed to be provided free of charge is punishable as a crime under Mozambique\u2019s anti-corruption law, as well as the Ministry of Health\u2019s anti-bribery policy, which Namati helped to instate.<\/p>\n<p>They assisted Maria in reporting the incident to the hospital, and when the hospital asked for a meeting, they went with her. The nurse initially denied the charge, but at a second meeting, with the hospital director present, she confessed. She asked for Maria\u2019s forgiveness and returned her money and documents.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_143189\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-143189\" class=\"size-large wp-image-143189\" src=\"https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-1024x752.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-1024x752.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-300x220.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-768x564.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-1536x1128.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-545x400.jpeg 545w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-450x330.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client-409x300.jpeg 409w, https:\/\/namati.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hospital-administrator_paralegal_2VHC_client.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-143189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left to right: the Quissico District Hospital Administrator, C\u00e9zar (Namati health advocate), two members of the village health committee, and Maria<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Maria says she was both happy and \u201crelieved\u201d when her money was returned. \u201cFirst, because I had no way to return the money I had borrowed\u2026 And [because] I am now no longer afraid to go to the hospital\u2026 I went back and told my family and my community that if ever someone asks you to pay money for care at the hospital, they are robbing you. People didn\u2019t know this before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maria\u2019s declaration is not an exaggeration. Few Mozambicans are aware of the laws and policies that protect their rights as patients, and some healthcare workers use this to their advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Quissico District Hospital was infamous for bribery and illegal fees. During the regular education sessions that C\u00e9zar and VHC held on patients\u2019 rights, numerous people had complained that they were made to pay for treatment. Those who did not pay were reportedly denied access to essential and, in some cases, lifesaving health services.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital had attempted to address the issue but the power dynamics and fractured relationship between the community and the hospital proved to be major barriers. As the hospital director, Dr. Os\u00f3rio Trigo, explains: \u201cHealth providers tried to raise patients\u2019 awareness about these things in the past, [but] no one ever approached them with concerns or complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr.Os\u00f3rio recognized that \u201cpatients [and] community members feel much more comfortable speaking with the VHC and health advocate.\u201d After Maria\u2019s case, he asked C\u00e9zar and the VHC if they would conduct a series of educational sessions for healthcare providers and patients specifically devoted to the National Strategy to Prevent and Combat Bribery in the Health Sector. They happily obliged.<\/p>\n<p>Several months later, the VHC asked patients in the hospital and community about the practice of bribery. No new cases were reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a huge change,\u201d affirms Dr. Os\u00f3rio. \u201cWhen it\u2019s the voice of the community speaking, we can no longer ignore it. When they speak up we\u2019re obliged to respond. \u2026 The health advocate and village health committee have really helped in terms of bringing the community and the hospital together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"smaller-text\">*name changed upon request<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The labor pains came as no surprise.
