|
Village registers of births and deaths provided vital health data for a study conducted by Médecins sans Frontières—Brussels, The Union and district authorities in Malawi. Data from registers recording deaths in 210 villages from 2000 to 2007 were triangulated with data of coffin sales and church funerals, and showed a highly significant linear downward trend in death rates as the percentage of people living with HIV/AIDS enrolled into HIV care and ART increased. The results of this study were published in May 2010 in PLOS One and an article about the project recently appeared in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. |
