The latest edition of the World health statistics provides an essential examination of trends in global health over the past two decades that have shaped the world in which we live. It highlights the sobering reality that, due largely to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, global life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have both regressed to the level a decade ago, although the impact was unequal across regions and income groups. This regression and its associated inequality signal significant challenges to health systems, demanding urgent attention and action.
Monitoring deaths aids in identifying and addressing their causes, allowing health systems to adapt and respond effectively. Therefore, a robust Mortality Surveillance System is the cornerstone of a highly effective public health system. It plays a pivotal role in measuring key indicators such as the crude mortality rate (CMR), life expectancy, total and excess mortality, maternal, neonatal, infant, and child mortality rates; categorized by age, gender, location, and other forms of mortality.

It also outlines how and when the different types of studies and evaluations will be conducted by the sector. It translates these processes into annualized and costed activities and assigns responsibilities for implementation.
