Josina Machel Hospital
Josina Machel Hospital in Luanda is the oldest and largest state hospital in Angola. It is considered the best health facility in the country and is an important historical monument. History The neoclassical building was built in 1865–1883 on the ruins of a Franciscan monastery. It was initially a military hospital and was named Hospital Maria Pia, in honor of Queen Maria Pia of Savoy. After the country became independent (1975) it was renamed in 1977 after the Mozambican resistance fighter Josina Machel and declared a historical cultural asset in 1981. During the Angolan civil war between 1975 and 2002 the hospital became very run down. There was also a shortage of medical supplies and the referral system barely functioned. The building was dilapidated and wards had to be closed because the roof leaked. Only the emergency department and some specialist services kept going. The Angolan government made it a high priority in the Five-Year Health Development Plan (2000 – 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Angolan War Of Independence
The Angolan War of Independence (; 1961–1974), called in Angola the ("Armed Struggle of National Liberation"), began as an uprising against forced cultivation of cotton, and it became a multi-faction struggle for the control of Portugal's overseas province of Angola among three nationalist movements and a separatist movement. The war ended when a leftist military coup in Lisbon in April 1974 overthrew Portugal's '' Estado Novo'' dictatorship, and the new regime immediately stopped all military action in the African colonies, declaring its intention to grant them independence without delay. The conflict is usually approached as a branch or a theater of the wider Portuguese Overseas War, which also included the independence wars of Guinea-Bissau and of Mozambique. It was a guerrilla war in which the Portuguese army and security forces waged a counter-insurgency campaign against armed groups mostly dispersed across sparsely populated areas of the vast Angolan count ...
