[dhis2] who am I...

[Humberto M. <hm...@ro...>]

Hi all,
I've been following what is happening regarding DHIS developments, though I am currently very busy trying to finish and hand in my thesis beofe the end of next September.
My name is Humberto Muquingue, from Mozambique. I'm pursuing a PhD on information systems with concentration on health management. 
I'm a member of HISP Mozambique since 2000, and have conducted six courses on DHIS for health professionals in four provinces of Mozambique - as you may guess, this is a challenge both in terms of having to address competences in proper information practices (only 1 in 4 workers had a formal training in procedures and purposes of data colletcion, analysis and dissemination), and also in terms of computer skills, as most workers have never used or seen a computer.
I also have coordinated a DHIS course for master students in Norway (MPhil at IASAM, 2002, 2003 and 2004), Malawi (MPH in Blantyre, 2003 and 2004) and Mozambique (MPH in Maputo, 2002, 2003 and 2004).
I'm more into the ducational part of it, not much a computer person (my background is MD, Maputo, 1985 and MSc in biochemistry, New York, 1995). Therefore, do not expect much in terms of programming, etc, but I'm in for beta testing and the such...
That's all...
Humberto.
