Ensure that civil registration and vital statistics systems produce high-quality cause of death data by working with the health sector to improve medical certification of cause of death and statistical coding in line with the International Classification of Diseases.
Adopt a consistent definition of a road traffic death for use in police databases, particularly in countries with incomplete civil registration and vital statistics data, where police data are the most reliable source of information
Link data sources – including civil registration records, police data, health records, insurance data – to improve official road traffic fatality estimates while ensuring the privacy of individual identification.
