Vital Registration System
- Before 1962, birth or death certificate under the old system was
one of the triplicate counterfoils. On 8 February, 1962 the VRS
system was introduced by using 13 kinds of forms.
- With UNFPA’s assistance in mid-1995, the CSO conducted a
sample survey of completeness of VRS to ascertain the level
of VRS in the country and determined the degree of reliability
of Vital Statistics. It was found that 40% of birth and about
60% of deaths in Myanmar were under reported. It was felt
that there was a need for strengthening the existing VRS in
order to get reliable information related to events of birth and
death.
The Modified Vital Registration System
( MVRS )
• With UNICF’s support in 1999, the MVRS using
the revised eight forms was successfully pilot
tested in four townships in four Regions / States.
• By 2001-2005 UNICEF Myanmar Country
Program, CSO performed to expand the MVRS
nation wide. UNICEF supported the launching of
the MVRS, and held advocacy meetings and VRS
planning workshops in all the Regions and States.
Vital Statistics
• A Vital Statistics System is defined as the system
of
- collecting information on the frequency of
occurrence of certain vital events, as well as
relevant characteristics of the events themselves
and of the persons concerned, and
- compiling, analysis, and disseminating vital data
in statistical form.
Vital Statistics
• By international definition, the vital events on
which data should be collected in a vital
statistics system are live-births, deaths, late
foetal deaths, marriages, divorces, annuments,
Judicial separations, adoptions, legitimations
and recognitions.
• However, in Myanmar the collection of vital
statistics are confined only to live-births, late
foetal deaths and deaths.
Vital Statistics
• The present Vital Registration and Statistics
System ( VRS ) was introduced in the urban
areas of Myanmar in early 1962. By the year
2010, it covered all urban areas which is 325
urban towns with urban population of 14.84
million, representing 100% of the total urban
population.
Vital Statistics
• In 1979 the system was introduced in rural areas
of Myanmar. By the year 2010, it covered all rural
areas which is 292 townships with rural
population of 44.94 million, representing 100% of
the total rural population. Thus, the system
covered 100% of the total population of the
country.
• Vital rates are based on registration of birth and
death events.
