Malnutrition is still a major public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa and Mozambique. The main aim of this
study was to evaluate the adherence to the nutritional rehabilitation program (NRP) and its impact on the growth of
malnourished children in Beira, Mozambique. The secondary aim was to verify the ...
Abstract
Aims Diabetes represents a growing public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, where diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a
major cause of permanent visual loss. We reported the results of a remote screening of DR among urbanized Mozambican
people with diabetes.
Methods We retrospectively collected...

Background
Malaria is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children aged under 5 years in Mozambique. The World Health Organization recommends seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC), the administration of four monthly courses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ), to childre...
Introduction: migrant mine workers are susceptible
to engage in risky sexual behaviour due to their high
mobility, putting at risk their families and home
communities. Because comprehensive knowledge
about HIV/AIDS is a key factor in reducing HIV
infections, this study aims to understand the current...
No início de 2019, após a grave seca de 2015-2016, as províncias de Sofala e Cabo Delgado, em Moçambique, foram atingidas pelos ciclones Idai e Kenneth, respectivamente. Estes foram os ciclones mais mortíferos e destrutivos da história do país. Actualmente, estas duas províncias acolhem dezenas d...
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 20191 . Embora o acesso ao Tratamento Antirretroviral (TARV) ainda constitua um desafio, com apenas 63% das crianças vivendo com HIV em TARV em 2019...
As malaria elimination becomes a possibility the focus of interventions changes from vector control to disease control. It is important that treatment occurs early during an infection in order for it to be efficacious, especially at the population level. The time between the onset of symptoms and treatme...
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...
Mozambique is facing two great adversaries. One is COVID-19 that claimed 132
confirmed deaths and 15,866 infections in its first round since the first case recorded
on 22 March 2020 until 2 December 2020 [1]. The second is the armed conflicts
in the Northern region of Mozambique perpetrated by armed f...

Investigation of human genes under pathogen-driven selection as Plasmodium sp. has pinpointed genetic variants that participate in the adaptation to the environment and/or are related to severities of human diseases. The current study examined an example of an evolutionary trade-off in which genetic vari...
