This past year, our dedicated team has achieved remarkable progress in mortality surveillance across Northwest Syria. Here are some highlights:
π Conducted over 600 interviews in 8 months, led by 3 Supervisors & 20 Community Health Workers.
π Developed Syria’s first mortality surveillance system using verbal autopsy.
π‘ Implemented a reliable, cost-effective system for collecting untracked cause-of-death data.
π₯ Key findings include insights into community vs. hospital deaths, sex ratio of age-specific mortality rates, and regional differences.
π Special focus on adult and child mortality patterns, revealing crucial data for public health policies.
This project is not just about numbers; it’s about real lives and making a lasting impact on global health. Thanks to everyone involved for making this possible! π
