The ceremony marked the end of a training period dedicated to the capacity building of key military personnel within the FADM structure in essential areas such as Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support and other military health capabilities.

The European Union Military Assistance Mission in Mozambique (EUMAM MOZ) monitored and supported the UEFISM team whenever necessary throughout the two weeks of training.

The initiative strengthens the ties of cooperation between European Union and Mozambique and highlights the shared commitment to supporting the development of military capabilities in key areas for the security, stability and protection of populations.
