Causes of death among women aged 17–49 years between 2007 and 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique
OBJECTIVES: To describe causes of death among young women and estimate the role of HIV/AIDS as a cause in Maputo City, based on the civil death register. METHODS: Death data of 17-49 year-old women were abstracted from January 2007-March 2010 from the civil death register in Maputo City, registering overall about 15 000 deaths per-year. Causes of death in the register were either based on physicians' diagnoses on death certificates or determined …
Using the COMMVAC taxonomy to map vaccination communication interventions in Mozambique
BACKGROUND: Improved communication about childhood vaccination is fundamental to increasing vaccine uptake in low-income countries. Mozambique, with 64% of children fully vaccinated, uses a range of communication interventions to promote uptake of childhood immunisation. OBJECTIVES: Using a taxonomy developed by the 'Communicate to Vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, the study aims to identify and classify the existing communication interventions for v…
Factors affecting the implementation of childhood vaccination communication strategies in Nigeria
Communication activities are a crucial element of immunization programmes. It is therefore important for policy makers and programme managers to understand the barriers and facilitators affecting the delivery of vaccination communication so as to be able to implement communication interventions more effectively
The comprehensive ‘Communicate to Vaccinate’ taxonomy of communication interventions for childhood vaccination in routine and campaign contexts
This taxonomy provides a standardised way to think and speak about vaccination communication. It is categorised by purpose to help conceptualise communication interventions as potential solutions to address needs or problems. It can be utilised by programme planners, implementers, researchers and funders to see the range of communication interventions used in practice, facilitate evidence synthesis and identify evidence gaps
Communication strategies to promote the uptake of childhood vaccination in Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Effective communication is a critical component in ensuring that children are fully vaccinated. Although numerous communication interventions have been proposed and implemented in various parts of Nigeria, the range of communication strategies used has not yet been mapped systematically. This study forms part of the 'Communicate to vaccinate' (COMMVAC) project, an initiative aimed at building research evidence for improving communicat…
Mapping how information about childhood vaccination is communicated in two regions of Cameroon
By identifying the interventions used in Cameroon and developing an intervention map, we allowed stakeholders to see where they were concentrating their communication efforts and where gaps exist, allowing them to reflect on whether changes are needed to the communication strategies they are using
Adherence in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial on prophylactic iron supplementation during pregnancy in Maputo, Mozambique
Objective Assessing the level of adherence and its determinants is important in appraising the overall effectiveness of trials. The present study aimed to evaluate the extent of adherence and its determinants in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of Fe prophylaxis during pregnancy in Maputo, Mozambique. Design A pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Setting Two health centres (1 o de Maio and Machava) in Maputo, Mozambique. Subjects Pregnan…
Relaunch of the official community health worker programme in Mozambique
Background: In Mozambique, integrated community case management (iCCM) of diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia is embedded in the national community health worker (CHW) programme, mainstreaming it into government policy and service delivery. Since its inception in 1978, the CHW programme has functioned unevenly, was suspended in 1989, but relaunched in 2010. To assess the long-term success of iCCM in Mozambique, this article addresses whether the cur…
A pragmatic randomised controlled trial on routine iron prophylaxis during pregnancy in M aputo, M ozambique ( PROFEG )
The effects of prophylactic iron during pregnancy on maternal and child health in developing settings with endemic malaria and high prevalence of HIV remain unclear. This paper describes the rationale, implementation and success of a pragmatic randomised controlled trial comparing routine iron supplementation vs. screening and treatment for anaemia during pregnancy. The setting was two health centres in Maputo, Mozambique. Pregnant women (≥ 12-we…
Policy development in malaria vector management in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe
INTRODUCTION: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), two principal malaria control strategies, are similar in cost and efficacy. We aimed to describe recent policy development regarding their use in Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe. METHODS: Using a qualitative case study methodology, we undertook semi-structured interviews of key informants from May 2004 to March 2005, carried out document reviews and developed …
The impact of war on children's health in Mozambique
Training medical students in operational research in Mozambique
The Medical Faculty in Mozambique has developed a programme to train students in operational research through field studies. The studies are part of the curriculum and take place during the epidemiology training in the fourth year. The programme's success can be attributed to strong political support and close collaboration with the ministry of health. Now, Cuts in government funding associated with economic structural adjustment threaten the pro…
Using surveys in Mozambique for evaluation of diarrhoeal disease control
Mozambique has used surveys extensively to evaluate its Diarrhoeal Diseases Control programme; topics have included diarrhoea morbidity and mortality, health centre management and home follow-up, diarrhoea prevalence and dehydration, and household knowledge. The surveys found high diarrhoeaassociated morbidity and mortality ratas. Although knowledge rates about oral rehydration salts (ORS) were between 88% and 93%, problems in the programme inclu…
South African destablization and health in Mozambique
Impact on People's Health The impact of the war on the health of the Mozambican people has been disastrous. Measured most crudely, the war has caused an increase in death rates. UNICEF gives a conservative estimate of a child mortality rate of 325/1000, and calculates that between 1981 and 1986 the war caused over 320,000 infant and child deaths. A series of studies among displaced people between 1983 and 1987 have shown overall mortality rates o…
Health as a target
Mozambique health holding the line
The current state of the health sector in Mozambique, is here located in the context of the state of ongoing struggles for independence and development there. Not only does the state of war directly challenge Moazambique's sovereignty; it is further threatened by the activities of these external agencies supposedly providing aid, yet in practice disrupting significantly government central planning. The implications of this study extend far beyond…
The dynamics of health policies in Mozambique 1975–85
In 1985 Mozambique commemorated its tenth year of independence against a background of a continuing need to defend the country, not only against the actions of the externally-backed Mozambique National Resistance (MNR), but also against drought, acute food shortages and a world economic recession. These external factors have significant implications for the Implementation of Mozambique's health policy. The MNR has chosen as deliberate targets for…
