Caribbean countries are to benefit from the renewed agreement between the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and Bloomberg Philanthropies to enhance civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in the Americas.
PAHO said that the agreement will be “supporting countries and territories of the Caribbean to improve the quality and availability of vital statistics to increase the proportion of accurately and completely registered births and deaths, and to modernise systems”.
It said that the agreement expands ongoing work under the global Data for Health (D4H) initiative, aimed at improving how countries collect and use data on births, deaths, and causes of death to shape public health policies.
