“…(Directress -72/73) It is very important to consider the origin and the nature of part of the collections that currently belong to MUNHAC. As it is the case of the Mafumo' instruments, most of the cultural and natural elements at the exhibition came from the scientific missions carried out in the colonies of Mozambique, Angola, Cabo Verde, São Tomé and Principe [Roque, 2014]. The origin of most of these collections is rather obscure, expressing, as in the case of Artur Mafumo, a case of violent suppression of one' knowledge, while also seeking to extract its value for modern science.…”

The article explores the ““Cure, Malaria, Frederic Welwitsch and the Healer”” theme of the exhibition “Plants and Peoples” from the Museum of Natural History and Science, Portugal. The study focuses on the research carried out by German naturalist F. Welwitsch on local plants in Angola as well as on history of lived colonial experience A. M. Mafumo, a healer from Mozambique, arrested for practicing “traditional medicine”. Using the analytical framework of the Epistemologies of the South we analyze the relationships between traditional and scientific knowledge using documentation, as well as interviews with curators and visitors. The article questions the exhibit' dialogue between these knowledges as an expression of an ecology of knowledges.

Data is the basis for designing information. In the healthcare, the management of data can improve patients' treatment and contribute to better provide healthcare services. This study aims to explore how health data are treated in the national health system in Mozambique.The methodological strategy was based on a qualitative analysis, through a semi-structured interview made to the manager of the health information department, supported by a bibliographic search based on PRISMA. The keywords used were data, value, and healthcare, with a limitation of the articles researched. For the work, only articles referring to these terms and with access were included. After screening the articles, considering the criteria used, 49 articles were analyzed. 17 articles were then included in this study.The results of this article are important, as they offer information about the treatment of health data. Through the study it was possible to verify how essential the treatment of health data is, as it helps in decision making. It was also possible to conclude that it is necessary to computerize data and information on health, in Mozambique. The use of the health information system serves as a mechanism for the collection, processing, analysis, and transmission of information to plan, organize, operationalize, and evaluate health services.In this way, health data, when in computerized systems, assist in decision support, decreasing the hypothesis of errors and accelerating the decision-making process by health professionals.

This article examines calumba root as a mobile scientific object in global history. The narrative begins with the first mention of calumba as an antidote from the "Indies" by an Italian physician in 1671. In the late seventeenth century and into the eighteenth century, European healers prescribed the root for gastrointestinal diseases. These authors believed the plant to be indigenous to South Asia, particularly Colombo, Ceylon.By the late eighteenth century, most doctors knew it as the "Mozambique root." However, Europeans denied the plant's southeast African provenance until 1808. Europeans disavowed calumba's origins in Africa while appropriating it into their own pharmacology. American physicians likewise searched for calumba in the trans-Appalachian west by simultaneously plundering the science of Indigenous American nations. These two strands of calumba's history illuminate how Euro-American medicine relied on and obscured African and Amerindian knowledge.Calumba root, Jateorhiza palmata, is a multiplicity: it exists as specimens pressed and mounted onto herbarium sheets, as medicinal teas sold online, as an aesthetic object in botanical prints, and as a research subject for biodiversity ecologists. While calumba's many forms are remarkable, Christopher M. Blakley is a non-tenure-track professor at Occidental College, where he teaches first-year writing and research methodology seminars.
