The guidance is based on the premise that the health sector can play a proactive role in ensuring that births and deaths are officially registered by national civil registration systems. This follows because vital events such as births and deaths often take place within a health institution; health workers are in contact with people at key moments in the life course – at the time of birth and at the moment of death.<br /></p><p>The guidance describes the mutual benefits that would accrue to individuals and societies from enhanced collaboration between civil registrars, health entities and other stakeholders with a role in vital statistics. It describes some common scenarios in which births and deaths occur and outlines key steps that health workers can take to enable them to be registered.</p><p> </p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-heading"> </div> <div class="sf-publications"> <div class="sf-publications-list sf-publications-list__horizontal row"> <div class="sf-publications-item list-item col-sm-3"> <div class="sf-publications-item__container"> <figure class="sf-publications-item__figure"> <img src="https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/332297/WHO-2019-nCoV-Mortality_Reporting-2020.1-eng.pdf.jpg?sequence=4" alt="Medical certification, ICD mortality coding, and reporting mortality associated with COVID-19" /> </figure> <div class="sf-publications-item__body"> <div class="sf-publications-item__header"> <div class="sf-publications-item__date"> <span>7 June 2020</span> </div> <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-mortality-reporting-2020-1"> <h3 class="sf-publications-item__title">Medical certification, ICD mortality coding, and reporting mortality associated with COVID-19</h3> </a> </div> <div class="sf-publications-item__description"> <p>This technical note describes medical certification of cause of death and classification (International Classification of Diseases [ICD] mortality coding)... </p> </div> <div class="sf-publications-item__actions"> <div class="sf-publications-item__file"> <a class="download-url " href="https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/332297/WHO-2019-nCoV-Mortality_Reporting-2020.1-eng.pdf?sequence=1" aria-label="Download" target="_blank">Download</a> </div> <div class="sf-publications-item__url"> <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-mortality-reporting-2020-1" class="page-url" aria-label="Read More">Read More</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sf-publications-item list-item col-sm-3"> <div class="sf-publications-item__container"> <figure class="sf-publications-item__figure"> <img src="https://cdn.who.int/media/images/default-source/ddi-department/publication-covers/reportcover.tmb-144v.png?sfvrsn=356f90d8_4" alt="" /> </figure> <div class="sf-publications-item__body"> <div class="sf-publications-item__header"> <div class="sf-publications-item__date"> <span>21 May 2020</span> </div> <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/revealing-the-toll-of-covid-19"> <h3 class="sf-publications-item__title">Revealing the toll of COVID-19</h3> </a> </div> <div class="sf-publications-item__description"> <p>The number of COVID-19 related deaths has become a key indicator to track the impact of the pandemic in countries and across the world.
