Donor transitions, where externally funded programs transfer to country ownership and management, are increasingly common. The Countrywide Mortality Surveillance for Action - Mozambique (COMSA) project established a nationwide surveillance system capturing vital events at the community level with funding...

Verbal autopsies (VAs) are extensively used to determine cause of death (COD) in many low- and middle-income countries. However, COD determination from VA can be inaccurate. Computer coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms used for this task are imperfect and misclassify COD for a large proportion of deat...
Mortality data, especially concerning deaths by cause, are critical for understanding the burden of disease, planning and monitoring of interventions aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality, as well as monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals for health (goal 3). In sub-Saharan Africa and most limi...

Sub-Saharan Africa lacks timely, reliable, and accurate national data on mortality and causes of death (CODs). In 2018 Mozambique launched a sample registration system (Countrywide Mortality Surveillance for Action [COMSA]-Mozambique), which collects continuous birth, death, and COD data from 700 randoml...

The Countrywide Mortality Surveillance for Action platform is collecting verbal autopsy (VA) records from a nationally representative sample in Mozambique. These records are used to estimate the national and subnational cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs) for children (1-59 months) and neonates (1...
Os Programas de Formação em Epidemiologia de Campo (Field Epidemiology Training Program, FETP) são cada vez mais necessários em todo o mundo. Com a persistência e ressurgimento de doenças transmissíveis e novas pandemias, o Regulamento Sanitário Internacional e a Agenda de Segurança Sanitária G...
