CRVS

This report provides statistics pertaining to births recorded by the Fiji Ministry of Health and Medical
Services (MHMS) and registered by the Civil Registration Office (CRO) for babies born during 2016-2021;
and deaths recorded by the MHMS for deaths that occurred during 2016-2021.

This report documents the results of the work of the Niue’s CRVS stakeholders in assessing, analysing and redesigning birth and death registration processes using the ‘assessment, analysis, and redesign’ stage of the CRVS Systems Improvement Framework.

The improvement of civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in the Pacific requires a diverse set of technical expertise that is not available in any one agency.

This compendium pulls together civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) country profiles for the Pacific Island region.

The establishment of a Pacific Centre on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD) 11 Field Implementation Tool (FIT) platform was the highlight of a 2-week training on the International Statistical Classification of Disease that concluded last week in Nadi, Fiji.

Medical certification of cause of death (MCCD) is a key source of mortality statistics. The death certificate is a permanent record of the fact and characteristics of death. It provides important personal information about the decedent, the circumstances and the cause of death.

SPC provides technical assistance to Pacific Island countries and territories in developing civil registration and vital statistics systems and data.

The CRVS profiles consolidate knowledge shared by countries on the status of their CRVS systems in the recent past, including through government websites, published reports, media releases and presentations, and direct engagement between the authors of these profiles and in-country civil registration offices and health information offices.

Coding causes of death to an international standard enables the comparability of mortality statistics over time and between countries.

ESCAP just published a report titled "Getting every one in the picture - A snapshot of progress midway through the Asia and Pacific Civil Registration and Vital Statistics Decade". The report shows that the Asia-Pacific region is on the right path to reach goals of universal and responsive CRVS systems.
