Who Report On India Covid Deaths

Tuberculosis replaced COVID-19 to become the top cause for infectious disease-related deaths in 2023, according to a World Health Organization report published on Tuesday, highlighting the challenges in the global effort to eradicate the disease.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, or ICMR, has distanced itself from a follow-up study by two Banaras Hindu University professors that said nearly a third of 926 individuals who got the India-made Covaxin shot reported serious side-effects.

India on Monday expressed dismay and concern over the WHO's recent report on all-cause excess mortality estimates, saying authentic data published by the statutory authority has not been taken into account.

The Pakistani government has rejected the World Health Organization's (WHO) report on number of COVID-19 deaths in the country, questioning the United Nations body's methodology to collect data.

Health ministers of different states who attended the 14th conference of the Central Council of Health and Family Welfare have slammed WHO for its estimate of 4.7 million Covid-related deaths in India, saying it is "baseless".

The BJP on Friday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of doing politics over COVID-19 deaths, alleging that the WHO's data and Congress' "beta" (son) are wrong.

In the massive controversy over the World Health Organisation (WHO) report claiming 4.7 million "excess" Covid deaths in India and the government's sharp rebuttals, a member of the WHO's Technical Advisory Group (TAG) says the data is corroborated.

India has strongly refuted the WHO's use of the mathematical model to calculate the number of Covid deaths, saying the "figure is totally removed from reality".

WHO also said they chose the mathematical model as many countries "still lack capacity for reliable mortality surveillance and therefore do not collect and generate the data needed to calculate excess mortality".

India on Saturday questioned the WHO's methodology to estimate COVID-19 mortalities in the country, saying using such a mathematical modelling cannot be applied to estimate the death figures for such a vast nation of geographical size and population.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday lashed out at the Andhra Pradesh and Bihar governments, and grilled others - including Kerala - over the failure of, or delay in, payment of compensation to the families of those who have died of COVID-19.

Under-reporting of Covid deaths may or may not have happened and the only concern now is ensuring that compensations are paid to the maximum number of families who suffered, the Supreme Court said today.

Guidelines on financial compensation for those who died after contracting the coronavirus must be submitted by September 23, the Supreme Court told the government today.
