Angola has made progress in child survival, with under-five mortality declining from 68 to 52 per 1,000 live births, between 2015 and 2024. This trajectory confirms that targeted investments in primary health care is yielding results. However, these gains remain fragile and uneven, with persistent geographic and socio-economic disparities requiring sustained, equity-focused efforts. At the same time, stagnation in key maternal and child health and nutrition indicators signal systemic bottlenecks. Rates of stunting (40 per cent), wasting (5 per cent), full immunization coverage (28 per cent), and access to WASH have shown limited improvement. This reflects structural challenges across the health system, including access to health care facilities, weak last-mile and community-based service delivery and quality gaps.
