Análise dos factores associados à mortalidade infantil em Moçambique em 2011

Abstract

The study on factors associated with infant mortality in Mozambique not only sheds light on a crucial public health issue but also offers a fundamental perspective to inform policies and interventions aimed at improving the health and well-being of children. By analyzing a range of variables, from demographic characteristics to access to healthcare, this study seeks to unravel the complex patterns underlying infant mortality in the country. Based on robust data from the IDS of 2011, we Carefully considering factors such as the mother’s education level, socioeconomic context, infant size and gender, among other factors, play a significant role in determining the fate of Mozambican children during the critical first year of life. This study not only identifies these critical factors but also contextualizes them in relation to the specific challenges and opportunities faced by different regions and population groups within Mozambique. Through careful and comprehensive analysis, we hope to provide valuable insights that can guide policies and programs aimed at reducing infant mortality and strengthening maternal and child health in Mozambique and beyond.
