Cause certified in just 22.5% of deaths registered in 2020

Over three-quarters of registered deaths in India remain without causes being medically certified and in a state like Bihar, that proportion is a scarcely believable 96.6%. While nationally there has been a marginal improvement in certification of deaths with the proportion rising from 20.7% in 2019 to 22.5% in 2020, several states have seen a worsening.
