Excess All‐Cause Mortality by Age and Gender During the COVID‐19 Pandemic in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina: 2020–2022
The true mortality impact of COVID-19 in FBiH was substantially higher than the reported deaths, including among younger adults. Strengthening civil registration and vital statistics, including establishment of all-cause mortality surveillance, is essential for improved monitoring of future pandemics and other important public health events. A detailed review of the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 on mortality should be conducted to identify areas that require more resources, improve health provision and inform mitigation efforts in future pandemics to save lives.
