Introdução: O acesso contínuo a cuidados de saúde para doentes crónicos é de extrema importância para o manejo de doenças crónicas. Dada a restrição de circulação imposta pelo estado de emergência sanitária no início da pandemia da COVID 19 e a impossibilidade de seguimento presencial des...
Moçambique tem uma das maiores epidemias de HIV em crianças no continente africano. Estimava-se que 150 mil crianças entre 0 a 14 anos viviam com HIV em 2019. Embora o acesso ao Tratamento Antirretroviral (TARV) ainda constitua um desafio, com apenas 63% das crianças vivendo com HIV em TARV em 2019, ...
In public health epidemiology, quasi-experimental methods are widely used to estimate the causal impacts of interventions. In this paper, we demonstrate the contribution the synthetic control method (SCM) can make in evaluating public health interventions, when routine surveillance data are available and...

Attaining the goal of reducing the global malaria burden is threatened by recent setbacks in maintaining the effectiveness of vector control interventions partly due to the emergence of pyrethroid resistant vectors. One potential strategy to address these setbacks could be combining indoor residual spray...

Background Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a WHO-recommended HIV prevention method for people at high risk for acquiring HIV, is being increasingly implemented in many countries. Setting programmatic targets, particularly in generalised epidemics, could incorporate estimates of the size of the populatio...

Already a major cause of death and disability in high-income countries, the burden of stroke
in sub-Saharan Africa is also expected to be high. However, specific stroke data are scarce from resource-poor countries.
We studied the incidence, characteristics, and short-term consequences of hospitalizations...

Moçambique é um dos países mais afectados pela epidemia do HIV/SIDA no mundo, com uma
prevalência de HIV de 13.2% em adultos dos 15 aos 49 anos. A prevalência do HIV é maior nas
mulheres (15.4%) em relação aos homens (10.1%). Estima-se que em 2018 cerca de 2.2 milhões de moçambicanos viviam com...

Background: Up to fifty percent of microbiologically cured tuberculosis (TB) patients may be left with permanent, moderate or severe pulmonary function impairment. Very few studies have systematically examined pulmonary outcomes in patients to understand the pathophysiologic basis and long-term socio-eco...
