Reduction of child hospital mortality in Mozambique through a nurse training programme.
The impact on child mortality of a 6-month paediatric nurse training programme, carried out during the routine ward time-table, was evaluated in a provincial hospital in Mozambique which serves a population of 40,000. Following the training, mortality fell significantly in comparison with previous years, and the hospital set up a scheme for continuing in-service training of paediatric nurses.
