Each year, nearly 45 million deaths go unrecorded, leaving governments without essential data that can save lives. Collecting death data helps build more resilient health systems through actionable insights. It’s time to talk about death data. Learn more: dataforhealth.bloomberg.org #DataForHealth

Vital Strategies is proud to partner with the @swisstph.ch, through funding from the Gates Foundation, to support the planning of SRS in Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, and Tanzania—helping pave the way for stronger, more inclusive data systems. /3

Births, deaths, and causes of death captured through Sample Registration Systems (SRS) can significantly enhance the relevance and use of CRVS data while offering valuable lessons on how best to count everyone. /2

Long-term improvement of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) systems sometimes requires intermediate solutions to deliver timely, representative, and accurate data. 🧵 /1

We hosted a data-centered leadership masterclass for senior CRVS managers in Asia-Pacific, focused on turning high-quality data into action for stronger CRVS systems and public health.

Data use for CRVS systems strengthening is as vital as data quality.

Good.

It's no secret that anti-abortion extremists are hell bent on expanding their hateful agenda and eliminating access to abortion care for people across the country. Today, the Governor made clear, as our shield laws do, that we will not tolerate it here in New York.

I really enjoyed this inspiring discussion and Q&A from 3 days ago with Ta-Nehisi Coates & Peter Beinart, 2 brilliant thinkers journalists writers and educators of our time. Found this really grounding and valuable in this current moment. vimeo.com/1052108335/8...

So shocked and saddened about USAID - the canary in the coal mine. All that good being done has been halted and gone with the snap of a digital finger. No words.

Crucial effort. www.npr.org/2025/02/05/n...

Very much worth a listen, even if, like me, you are not Jewish, Israeli, Palestinian, or Muslim.

Thank you, @peterbeinart.bsky.social.
