Over a decade of HIV infection prevalence and incidence among Mozambican pregnant women
The prevalence of HIV decreased while the overall incidence stayed similar in Mozambican pregnant women, during 2010 to 2021. However, both estimates remain unacceptably high, which indicates the need to revise current preventive policies and implement effective ones to improve HIV control among pregnant women
Applying the photovoice method with adolescents in mining areas in rural Mozambique
There is a recognised need for innovative methods to elicit the perspective of adolescents on public health issues, particularly when addressing sensitive topics such as the impact of mining projects on their health. Participatory approaches such as "photovoice" allow for deep engagement of vulnerable and marginalised populations, including adolescents. However, few existing studies have used the photovoice method to reflect on issues related to …
Adolescent health and well-being in the context of impact assessment of natural resource extraction projects
Background Natural resource extraction projects (NREPs) might impact the social, economic and health conditions of marginalised and/or vulnerable population groups, such as adolescents. While different types and forms of impact assessments (IAs) have the aspiration to place particular emphasis on potential project-related effects in vulnerable and/or marginalised groups, it remains unclear whether and to what extent health and well-being of adole…
Using Q‐methodology for policy research and stakeholder engagement to strengthen public health in large‐scale mining in Mozambique
Mining projects can have adverse effects on public health, potentially impacting the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. While environmental impacts are typically addressed through mandatory environmental impact assessments, public health consequences often receive inadequate attention, despite being a major concern for affected communities. Policy instruments for mitigating these public health issues, including health impact assessment (HIA), r…
Assessing the effects of mining projects on child health in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: The African continent hosts many industrial mining projects, and many more are planned due to recent prospecting discoveries and increasing demand for various minerals to promote a low-carbon future. The extraction of natural resources in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) represents an opportunity for economic development but also poses a threat to population health through rapid urbanisation and environmental degradation. Children could benef…
Accuracy of verbal autopsy, clinical data and minimally invasive autopsy in the evaluation of malaria-specific mortality
BACKGROUND: Global malaria mortality estimates are hindered by the low reliability of the verbal autopsy (VA) and the clinical records, the most common sources of information used to estimate malaria-specific mortality. We aimed to determine the accuracy of these tools, as well as of the minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), a needle-based postmortem sampling method, to identify malaria-specific mortality in a large series of deceased patients from M…
Health impact assessment for promoting sustainable development
Health is central to sustainable development, and thus a cross-cutting issue of the SustainableDevelopment Goal (SDG) 2030 agenda. Natural resource extraction projects in Africa haveconsiderable potential to impact on health-related targets of the SDGs. This paper introducesthe rationale and organization of the HIA4SD Project; a 6-year research for development (r4d)project that aims to inform and facilitate a policy dialogue at the national and i…
Challenges and needs for social behavioural research and community engagement activities during the Covid-19 pandemic in rural Mozambique
After the Ebola outbreaks the world is again facing a challenge in which human behaviours and contact history play crucial roles in determining the trends in disease spreading within and across communities. With the onset of the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, several issues related to conducting social behavioural sciences research and related community engagement activities arise, especially in rural areas of low-income countrie…
Trust, community health workers and delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy
This qualitative study is part of a project aiming to evaluate a community-based approach to the delivery of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) through community health workers (CHWs) in four sub-Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, Mozambique and Nigeria. The study aimed to understand the factors that influence the anticipated acceptability …
A comparison of all-cause and cause-specific mortality by household socioeconomic status across seven INDEPTH network health and demographic surveillance systems in sub-Saharan Africa
BACKGROUND: Understanding socioeconomic disparities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality can help inform prevention and treatment strategies. OBJECTIVES: To quantify cause-specific mortality rates by socioeconomic status across seven health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) in five countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Nigeria) in the INDEPTH Network in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: We linked demographic residence data…
Costs associated with delivering HPV vaccination in the context of the first year demonstration programme in southern Mozambique
The average economic cost per dose was lower than the ones recently reported for low- and middle-income countries. However, our estimation of the financial cost per FIG was higher than the ones observed elsewhere (ranging from US$2.49 in India to US$20.36 in Vietnam) due to the high percentage of out-of-school girls which, reduced vaccine coverage and, therefore, reduced the denominator. Due to budget constraints, if Mozambique is to implement na…
Severe malnutrition among children under the age of 5 years admitted to a rural district hospital in southern Mozambique
Objective To describe the burden, clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of severe malnutrition in children under the age of 5 years. Design Retrospective study of hospital-based data systematically collected from January 2001 to December 2010. Setting Rural Mozambican district hospital. Subjects All children aged Results During the 10-year long study surveillance, 274 813 children belonging to Manhiça's Demographic Surveillance System w…
A 10 year study of the cause of death in children under 15 years in Manhiça, Mozambique
The results of this study stand out the big challenges that lie ahead in the fight against infectious diseases in the study area. The pattern of childhood mortality in Manhiça area is typical of developing countries where malaria, pneumonia and HIV/AIDS are important causes of death
