2 Brief Introduction to Manhiça HDSS The Manhiça Health Research Center (Centro de Investigação em saúde de Manhiça, CISM in Portuguese) was established in 1996 as part of a joint collaborative program between the governments of Spain and Mozambique. It is represented by the National Institute of Health, the Ministry of Health of Mozambique and by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation, the Fundació Clinic of Barcelona and the University of Barcelona in Spain. The CISM is one of the few research centers located in rural settings in Africa and has become in recent years one of the leading biomedical research organizations in the continent. The Manhiça Health Research Centre is located in the district of Manhiça (Maputo Province) in southern Mozambique, 80 kms north of Maputo City, the capital of Mozambique. Manhiça is a little village located in a plain area, surrounded by Inkomati River, and it has an extension of 2.500km² where near people live. CISM runs a Demographic and Health Surveillance System (HDSS) in Manhica district. This surveillance started with a baseline census carried out in late 1996, which covered at that time an area of 100 km 2 and registered a total of 32,500 inhabitants. In 2002 the DSA was extended to include Mantchiana, Palmeira and Ilha Josina in the North of the original area. In January 2005, the locality of Taninga (north of Palmeira and south of Ilha Josina) was incorporated into the DSA, increasing the area for 500 km 2. In mid 2010, the population under HDSS was about 90,000 inhabitants. Mission: The mission of CISM is to conduct biomedical research in health priority areas to protect and improve the population s health. Vision: The vision is to be a center of excellence in biomedical research that generates evidence to guide public health policy in Mozambique and other countries in the world.
