The impetus and opportunities for improving birth, death, and cause of death data have never been more propitious. Renewed country commitment to strengthen vital registration systems is clearly evident, supported by nascent regional coalitions of technical and development organisations. The announcement of a major new investment by Bloomberg Philanthropies to strengthen data systems and capacity in selected countries has the potential to catalyse and realise significant improvements in the availability and quality of data for health. This will require technical leadership, strategic intervention choices, strong country partnerships, and efficient delivery and management of multiple technical interventions across participating countries.
改善出生、死亡及死因数据的动力和机遇从未如此有利。各国重新致力于加强 vital registration systems,这一点显而易见,同时得到了技术和发展组织新成立的区域联盟的支持。彭博慈善基金会宣布在选定国家进行一项重大新投资,以加强数据系统和能力,这有可能推动并实现卫生数据的可得性和质量方面的显著改善。这将需要技术领导力、战略干预选择、强大的国家伙伴关系,以及在参与国高效实施和管理多项技术干预措施。
