The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) agenda offers a major impetus to consolidate and accelerate development in civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems. Strengthening CRVS systems is an SDG outcome in itself. Moreover, CRVS systems are the best - if not essential - source of data to monitor and guide health policy debates and to assess progress towards numerous SDG targets and indicators. They also provide the necessary documentation and proof of identity for service access and are critical for disaster preparedness and response. While there has been impressive global momentum to improve CRVS systems over the past decade, several challenges remain. This article collection provides an overview of recent innovations, progress, viewpoints and key areas in which action is still required - notably around the need for better systems and procedures to notify the fact of death and to reliably diagnose its cause, both for deaths in hospital and elsewhere.
可持续发展目标（SDG）议程为巩固和加速民事登记和人口动态统计系统（CRVS）的发展提供了重要动力。加强 CRVS 系统本身就是 SDG 的一个成果。此外，CRVS 系统是监测和指导卫生政策辩论以及评估实现众多 SDG 目标和指标进展情况的最佳（如果不是必要的）数据来源。它们还为获取服务提供必要的身份文件和证明，对于备灾和应对灾害至关重要。尽管过去十年全球在改善 CRVS 系统方面取得了令人瞩目的进展，但仍存在一些挑战。本文集概述了最近的创新、进展、观点以及仍需采取行动的关键领域，特别是需要更好的系统和程序来通知死亡事实，并可靠地诊断死亡原因，包括医院内和其他地方的死亡。
