WHO SEARO workshops to get everyone in the picture
TAGS

The WHO South-East Asia Regional Office convened two back-to-back regional workshops in Sri Racha, Chon Buri, Thailand. The first, held on 21–22 April 2025, brought together delegates from 9 countries to validate the results of the second global SCORE assessment and develop country-specific national HIS roadmaps.

This was followed by a second workshop from 23–25 April titled “Getting everyone in the picture: How the health sector accelerated improvements in CRVS (2015–2024)”, aimed at reviewing national progress in line with the Regional Action Framework for CRVS in Asia and the Pacific. 

Together, the workshops renewed momentum and strengthened multi-partner commitment to building resilient and inclusive CRVS systems. Insights from the 2025 review questionnaire were translated into priority actions aligned with the 2014 and 2021 Ministerial Declarations on CRVS in Asia and the Pacific. Countries also clearly articulated their technical assistance priorities—such as inequality assessments, ICD-11 implementation, and improved cause-of-death data—and outlined actionable national strategies.
