Background: The minimally invasive autopsy (MIA) is being investigated as an alternative to the complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA), gold standard for CoD determination, in settings where CDA is unfeasible and/or unacceptable. We aimed to explore healthcare providers' views and perceptions on theoretical a...
Maternal mortality in Mozambique has not declined significantly in the last 10-15 years, plateauing around 480 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Good quality antenatal care and routine and emergency intrapartum care are critical to reducing preventable maternal and newborn deaths.

In 2016 are estimated 1.3 million TB deaths among HIV negative people and an additional 374,000 deaths among HIV positive people. In 2016 are estimated 1.4 million new cases of TB in people living with HIV (PLHIV), 74% o...

HIV/AIDS is a leading cause of infant mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite significant improvements in preventing vertical transmission, in the 21 Global Plan priority countries in sub-Saharan Africa, over 100 000 infants are infected with HIV annually and only 50% access life-saving antiretroviral t...
African men who have sex with men (MSM) frequently, and often concurrently, have female partners, raising concerns about HIV sexual bridging. We explored potential HIV transmission in Mozambique from and to female partners of MSM focusing on preferred anal sex role and circumcision status. Data collected...

Participants' understanding of key elements of a research protocol is essential to their ethical enrollment in the study. Ongoing participation should be based on continued comprehension and consent, which presumes a high degree of recall. Many obstacles can prevent full understanding of information abou...
Mozambique is a sub-Saharan African country with limited information on the burden
of fungal disease. We estimated the burden of serious fungal infections for the general healthy
population and for those at risk, including those infected with HIV, patients with asthma, as well as
those under intensive...
Retention in anti-retroviral therapy (ART) presents a challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. In
Mozambique, after roll-out to peripheral facilities, the 12-month retention rate was reported
mostly from sites with an electronic patient tracking system (EPTS), representing only 65%
of patients. We conducted a na...

Worldwide only 43% of infants infected with HIV have access to antiretroviral treatment (ART). Despite significant global efforts to expand access to paediatric treatment, coverage lags behind adult ART and may not reach the 90-90-90 goals by 2020 as set by UNAIDS [2]. Resolving this paediatric ART gap i...

Background: In 2013, Mozambique implemented task-shifting (TS) from clinical officers to maternal and child
nurses to improve care for HIV positive children < 5 years old. A retrospective, pre-post intervention study was
designed to evaluate effectiveness of a new pathway of care in a sample of Beira Dis...
