Programa Nacional de Controle da Malária: análise da gestão na cidade de Maputo- Moçambique, 2014 a 2019.

Abstract

This paper, in general, analysed the management of the National Malaria Control Programme in the Health Service and the Municipal Health Directorate, both in Maputo City, 2014 to 2019 and specifically, described the programme, characterised the organisation of the National Health System and the management of the Programme and; finally examined the contribution of management to the reduction of cases and deaths from malaria. The fundamental argument that guided the thesis was "malaria endemicity remained a public health problem in the Republic of Mozambique, particularly in the Health Service and the Municipal Health Directorate, both in Maputo City, 2014 to 2019, our study site".This thesis was treated in the context of the decentralization of the management functions of the primary services of the Health Service to the Municipal Health Directorate, both of Maputo City, where the study showed that it is possible to prevent, control and cure malaria from the management processes. The subject was approached in the light of the government triangle of Carlos Matus (1993), articulated from the functions of management, levels of management, managerial skills and the social determinants of health guided by qualitative-descriptive, where we privilege the questionnaires, interviews with key actors, documentary and bibliographic research, as well as the use of a non-random or directed sampling. In this work, it was concluded that management contributed to the reduction of malaria cases and deaths, although it did not achieve what could be expected for disease control.
