Abstract
National Sample Vital Registration System: A sustainable platform for COVID-19 and other infectious diseases surveillance in low and middle-income countries.
Highlights
Sample vital registration systems (SVRS) complements and reinforces other existing systems, including Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS), Health Information Systems, and household surveys
The COVID-19 pandemic raises the critical need for effective national surveillance systems, capable of detecting the onset of outbreaks rapidly and sustainable platforms for mortality and cause of death (CoD) surveillance that allow rapid data collection to address questions during and after epidemics or crises
Well-designed sample vital registration systems (SVRS) offer rapid, and sustainable platforms for achieving the need for real-time data and the ability to nest data collection to respond to rising questions [3]
Summary
SVRS complements and reinforces other existing systems, including Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS), Health Information Systems, and household surveys. The COVID-19 pandemic raises the critical need for effective national surveillance systems, capable of detecting the onset of outbreaks rapidly and sustainable platforms for mortality and cause of death (CoD) surveillance that allow rapid data collection to address questions during and after epidemics or crises. Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) struggle to establish exhaustive surveillance platforms at community level for national response in real time.
