Excess mortality gives us a comprehensive, comparable picture of any crisis. Here’s why @WHO’s new excess mortality estimates for COVID-19 are incredibly important.
(1/7)
Mortality can be associated with COVID-19 in different ways. Directly (deaths officially reported and not counted), indirectly (deaths due to unmet health needs) and deaths that didn’t occur (such as fewer traffic-related deaths due to lockdowns).
(2/7)
When we undercount, we miss targeting our health interventions where they’re needed most. And this deepens inequalities.

@WHO@UNDESA#COVID19 excess mortality estimates reveal that the 5.4 million reported deaths from Jan 2020-Dec 2021 are a significant undercount. Let’s dive deeper into the findings. #HealthData
New paper co-authored by myself & my @WHO colleagues. It covers data gaps in 47 low- and middle-income countries & their effect on achieving our health-related #SDGs & #TripleBillion targets.
Country’s progress to reach the #TripleBillion targets & health-related SDGs are tracked through 46 indicators. For many low-income countries, international surveys are the only way to monitor them and we found #HealthData gaps exist in all 47 countries. (2/5)
Some key recommendations:
🔹 Collaboration between surveys to ensure data is comparable & close data gaps
🔹 Shorter cycles between surveys to ensure policies are informed by most recent data
🔹 Use of mobile technology & network services for surveys
