Paula and Cacilda are malaria focal points at Mabil Health Facility in Inhambane province. They are treating an average of 100 patients a day.
Strengthening malaria surveillance for data-driven decision-making in Mozambique was a 3.5-year project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Read about how the project improved health system capacity to correct errors that can influence data quality. Key to improve data quality was operationalising a functional malaria surveillance system — the integrated Malaria Information System, which we created with our partners under the leadership of the National Malaria Control Programme.
