An estimated 40 percent of deaths are not recorded worldwide. And yet, strengthening the analysis and collection of death data is one of the most impactful investments in public health a country can make. 

Attendees at the World Health Summit are warmly invited to join the Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative for a timely discussion with high-level government officials, CRVS experts, global technical partners and donors about the challenges and lessons learned in strengthening CRVS in low- and middle-income countries — and for real-world examples of how death data has shaped the public health policies that save lives. 

Registration required, space is limited.
