Abstract:

This article analyses the action of national and international actors in Pharmaceutical Services (PS) in Mozambique,2007 to 2012, focusing on the public provision of HIV/Aids, malaria and tuberculosis medicines. It describes how PS functions in the country; which are the actors involved in this area and the relations between them, deepening the discuss about the modus operandi by the cooperation partners. The methodology combines: bibliographic review, survey and documentary analysis and interviews. The analytical theoretical framework was the approach of public policy analysis focusing on the role of the State and its interrelations with the others actor in foreign aid in PS, and also the approach of networks. It is possible to conclude that the interaction between the actors involved is complex, characterized by operational fragmentation and overlapping of activities between different entities; centralization of the purchase of medicines in the hands of few agents; bypass of national structures and disregard of the necessary strengthening for the national health system in order to strengthening its autonomy. Despite some advances in the provision and availability of medicines for these diseases, there is a strong external dependence, which hampers the sustainability of PS in Mozambique.
