  • Growing-Season Rainfall and Scenarios of Future Change in Southeast Africa: Implications for Cultivating Maize

P. 256, Maputo, Mozambique 6National Meteorological Service of Malawi, Llilongwe, Malawi 7National Meteorological Service of Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia ABSTRACT: Global climate change is a detectable and attributable global phenomenon, yet its man- ifestation at the regional scale, especially within the rainfall record, can be difficult to identify. This problem is particularly acute over southern Africa, a region characterised by a low density of obser- vations and highly dependent on rural agriculture, where the impact of rainfall changes on maize cul- tivation critically depends on the timing with respect to the crop phenological cycle. To evaluate changes in rainfall affecting maize cropping, daily rainfall observations from 104 stations across Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe were used to detect trends in planting dates, rainfall cessation and duration of the rainfall season, as well as number of dry days, length of dry spells and measures of rainfall intensity during critical periods for growing maize.

  • Assessment of Coverage of Preventive Treatment and Insecticide-Treated
    Salomão et al. Malar J (2017) 16:223 DOI 10.1186/s12936-017-1872-2 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Assessment of coverage of preventive treatment and insecticide‑treated mosquito nets in pregnant women attending antenatal care services in 11 districts in Mozambique in 2011: the critical role of supply chain Cristolde Salomão1*, Jahit Sacarlal2 and Eduardo Samo Gudo1 Abstract Background: Malaria during pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and pregnancy outcome and the World Health Organization recommends the administration of intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and distribution of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) to all pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) services. This study was conducted with the aim to assess the uptake of IPTp and ITNs in pregnant women attending ANC services and correlate with ANC attendance and frequency of stock-outs in 22 health facilities Mozambique. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July and December 2011 in 22 health units in 11 districts situated in 11 provinces in Mozambique. Two health facilities were selected per district (one urban and one rural). Data were collected by reviewing logbooks of antenatal consultations as well as from monthly district reports. Results: During the period under investigation, a total of 23,524 pregnant women attended their 1st antenatal care visits, of which 12,775 (54.3%) and 7581 (32.2%) received one and two doses of IPTp, respectively. In regard to ITNs, a total of 16,436 (69.9%) pregnant women received ITNs. Uptake of IPTp and ITNs by pregnant women at ANC services was higher in southern Mozambique and lower in districts situated in the northern part of the country.

Mozambique is highly vulnerable to extreme weather events such as major droughts and floods and thus, an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different rainfall products is valuable.

  • Final Report of the Needs Assessment
    Assessment of the capacity of the health services to provide essential obstetric care in Tete province, Mozambique Final report of the needs assessment December 2000 1. INTRODUCTION Maternal mortality is a serious health problem in Mozambique. While the last census in 1997 and the DHS1 did not calculate exactly the maternal mortality ratio in the country, careful estimates indicate the MMR to be between 500 and 1500 deaths per 100 000 live births, but no reference is given. The only reliable information that is available comes from a sisterhood survey done in 19952. Even with these important differences in estimation of the exact figure of the maternal mortality, the problem is being recognised as an important one for the health planners and the donors in the country. Mozambique has made a clear commitment to reduce the maternal mortality in the country. In 1998 a first nation-wide Safe Motherhood needs asssesment3 was done, which was followed in the same year by a systematic review of the causes of 90 maternal deaths4. Following this dynamism within the ministry of health, a national strategy to reduce the maternal morbidity and mortality and neonatal mortality was formulated in 1999 and adopted in 2000, the document was launched as the: " …Estrategias para a redução da morbimortalidade materna e neonatal." This document 5forms the basis for formulating interventions to reduce maternal mortality in Mozambique. It is based on strengthening the health services with the concept of the provision of obstetric care ( basic and comprehensive) with an adequate referral system, community involvement and an improved data collection system.
