Abstract
Malaria remains a significant public health issue in rural Mozambique communities, where access to healthcare services is limited. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including qualitative interviews with community members, quantitative surveys, and observational assessments. The MHCs significantly reduced malaria cases by 40% among surveyed households over the study period. Mobile health clinics were found to be an effective tool in enhancing malaria prevention strategies in rural Mozambique communities. Further implementation and integration of mobile health clinics into existing healthcare infrastructure is recommended for broader impact.
