Role of the Health Sector
• Many births and deaths occur in health facilities• Pregnancies – need for early detection and recording• Health sector should be legally required to record
and report births and deaths• Statistics sector should be legally required to provide
mortality rates and to demand cause of death data• Sector linkages are often weak or absent

Vital Statistics
• Recent attention to the shortcomings of estimates used in the health sector
• Opportunity to mobilize health sector donors for CRVS improvements to achieve MDGs
• Increasing recognition to utilize actuarial and cause of death data for forecasting and financial planning

Cause of Death
• Mortality patterns inevitably demand explanations
• International Classification of Diseases (ICD) enables standard coding of diagnoses and cause of death
• Health worker training for certification of death and cause of death is weak

Cause of Death
• Even strong CRVS systems have "garbage code" problems
Percentage of garbage codes by type of GCs and ICD version, all ages.

Cause of Death
• Garbage Code Distribution

Policy and Legal Framework
• HMN assessments reveal that policy is among the weakest components of country information systems
• Countries have expressed an urgent need for analysis of policy options and preparation of models or templates for legislation
• Participants are invited to indicate interest in working with HMN to draft a common framework for health information policy in the context of CRVS systems (e-mail: [email protected] )

Policy Challenges
• CRVS Policy can be enacted from national constitution, statistical system legislation, freedom of information legislation, or international conventions
• Requires multi-sectoral action and commitment for a functional CRVS system
• Privacy, security, confidentiality and rights must be balanced against the need to share data to detect emerging risks or epidemics
