Fewer than half of the 40 countries assessed by the World Health Organization in its African Region reported notifying authorities of at least 80% of deaths. WHO released the findings on November 10 at the first Africa Health Data Forum, which runs through November 12 in Nairobi, Kenya. [evidence-1] [evidence-2]
Nineteen countries met that reporting threshold, according to the assessment. On a separate measure, 21 countries said they recorded a cause for at least 80% of deaths already registered. [evidence-1]
The assessment took place in 2024 and covered 40 of the region’s 47 WHO member states. WHO gave the health information systems an overall maturity score of 59 out of 100. Individual country scores ranged from 26 to 93. [evidence-1]
