What Are the Challenges of Vital Registration Systems?
Despite their importance, vital registration systems face several challenges:
1. Underreporting: Not all births and deaths are recorded, especially in rural or underserved areas. 2. Data Quality: Inaccuracies in data collection and reporting can affect the reliability of the information. 3. Timeliness: Delays in data reporting can hinder timely public health responses. 4. Infrastructure: Inadequate infrastructure and resources can impede the functioning of vital registration systems.
