KEY POINTS
· South Africa has established an efficient rapid mortality surveillance system which would alert us with the earliest evidence of such impact, if any.
· Mortality data are essential for pandemic management from both clinical and public health perspectives to guide patient care, protection of vulnerable population groups, and resource mobilisation and allocation.
· For South Africa, the National Population Register serves as a useful data source, with weekly updates of deaths by sex, age, date of death, and place of registration.
· For India, excess mortality estimates are based on epidemiological models, some of which include analyses of month-wise death registration data released by several States.
· The Civil Registration System (CRS) Report for 2019 indicates high levels of registration completeness across India.
· Information on deaths recorded in the national Sample Registration System and other household surveys could be used to estimate completeness of CRS data using record linkage methods.
· Analysis of recent CRS data has exposed the brittle nature of the outputs from these models. Moreover, the identified gaps in CRS data by location, sex and age from detailed analyses can help guide interventions to improve data quality for the future.
