According to Israel Kussumua, president of the general and family medicine specialty college of the Angolan Medical Association, the country has only 51 doctors specialized in family medicine - a specialty that focuses on primary health care.
Speaking to the angolan newspaper, Israel Kussumua explained that general medicine is very important to keep the population healthy and that it is necessary to invest in the development of this specialty in Angola, because only in this way will the country be able to ensure that the population stays healthy.
