Unregistered births, deaths blight Kenya’s planning credentials
Monday March 01 2021
Summary
Recent estimations by the World Bank show that about half of the world’s population live in countries where causes of death are normally partially recorded and are of limited use.
It notes that correct reporting of cause of death is particularly difficult in developing countries where many deaths occur at home without medical care or certification.
Contrastingly, in high income countries, this information is routinely available from death registration records, which are part of their civil registration systems (CRS).
With billions of shillings pumped into development programmes annually, tracking the impact of such resources on the country’s overall development is critical.
What is already known about this topic?
Suicide is preventable. In 2019, approximately 47,500 lives were attributed to suicide. From 2018 to 2019, the suicide rate declined for the first time in more than a decade.
What is added by this report?
Suicide rates declined overall by 2.1%, among females by 3.2%, and among males by 1.8%, as well as in five states, certain demographic groups, and by certain mechanisms of suicide; however, disparities persist.
What are the implications for public health practice?
To build on 2019 progress, CDC’s Preventing Suicide: A Technical Package of Policy, Programs, and Practices supports a comprehensive approach to prevention. Implementing such an approach, especially in disproportionately affected populations (e.g., American Indian/Alaska Natives), is needed in all states.
