For it to function optimally, routine health information systems (HIS) are necessary to ensure adequate provision of health care and the development of appropriate health policies. Concerns about the quality of routine administrative data have undermined their use in resource-limited settings. This evaluation was designed to describe the availability, reliability, and validity of a sample of primary health care HIS data from nine health facilities across three districts in Sofala Province, Mozambique. HIS data were also compared with results from large community-based surveys. SN - 1478-7954 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1478-7954-9-12 DO - 10.1186/1478-7954-9-12 ID - Gimbel2011 ER -
