WHAT WE DO?

The health status of the population and the epidemiological profile is largely a consequence of the level of socioeconomic development and is a factor that determines their growth rate. The challenges in this area are due to the poor knowledge of the population about determinants of health status, as well as the reduced use of health services by the community and limited access to these services.

Main objectives

​

  • Establish and consolidate the population research area

  • Generate evidence on the main causes of death in Mozambique

  • Generate knowledge about perceptions of health and disease
