Enhancing Death Registration Process in Botswana

Strategies to address bottlenecks in institutional deaths in Botswana include decentralizing coding, simplifying ICD processes, enhancing staff training, strengthening partnerships, and increasing coding staffing. The death registration process involves reporting in health facilities, coding and data entry, analysis, and report production at civil registration offices. Bottlenecks such as limited ICD understanding, staffing constraints, and centralized coding cause delays. The desired business process aims to address these bottlenecks for efficient reporting of Causes of Death, Vital Statistics, and Marriage Statistics in Botswana.
