Determining the cause of death through mortality surveillance using verbal autopsy in Karachi, Pakistan
The study underscores the need for targeted health care strategies to address the diverse CoD and varying health-seeking behaviours observed. Improving access to health care, particularly for home-based deaths and vulnerable age groups, is essential for better health outcomes. Tailored interventions are crucial to address both communicable and non-communicable diseases effectively in resource-constrained settings.
