By CELIA W. DUGGER

Mozambique has developed systems for recording the details of violent deaths and injuries. The W.H.O. report, "Third Milestones of a Global Campaign for Violence Prevention 2007," also said Brazil, Mexico and the United Kingdom had published their first national reports on violence and health.
