Inferences drawn from comparison of HMIS, CRS data on Covid deaths fallacious:Govt
NEW DELHI, July 14: The Union Health Ministry on Wednesday dismissed as “conjectures” and “speculation” some media reports that claimed higher COVID-19 fatality figures based on data from the National Health Mission’s Health Management Information System (HMIS).

NEW DELHI: The share of non-communicable and injury-related neurological disorders such as stroke, headache disorders, and epilepsy to the total disease burden has more than doubled from 4% to 8.2% in India between 1990 to 2019, whereas the contribution of communicable neurological disorders reduced during this period by threequarters, a new scientific paper published in the Lancet Global Health shows.
The paper highlighted aging as one of the main factors behind increasing burden of non-communicable neurological disorders. The paper is a collaborative effort between the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) and a number of other organisations.
