Mozambique

Executive summary

Cuba's medical cooperation with Mozambique, active since 1977 and formalized under Asistencia Técnica Compensada and the Henry Reeve Contingent, continues today under a 2021 health agreement projected to last 25 years, with 361 personnel deployed across nine provinces. Documented testimonies reveal systematic manipulation of medical statistics and falsified records, alongside severe labor rights violations including passport confiscation, restricted movement, mandatory curfews, and prohibitions on relationships with locals. Political mobilization is also confirmed, with collaborators forced into political meetings and repudiation acts against those abandoning the mission. These are not volunteers—they are managed assets of a state that profits from their silence. Behind the white coats lies a system of surveillance disguised as solidarity.
