A concept developed in 1992 by a group of Health Workers comprising activities related to health research and management. Our concerns are essentially based on the utilization of Statistics, Epidemiology, Informatics, Research, Information Systems and Planning methodologies by health workers in Angola.
More than 600 cases have occurred since March, most of whom were among children younger than five years old. At least 39 people have died. The first cases were reported in the capital city of Luanda and neighboring areas in Bengo province.
Health services in Angola have deteriorated since the 1980's mainly due to the war. As a result the people in Angola have very limited access to health services and those that do exist are poorly resourced and badly managed.
