Strengthening causes of death identification through community-based verbal autopsy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Indonesia has not optimally provided complete and reliable civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS). Death certification is one of the elements of the CRVS system. Reliable data on death rates and causes serve as the basis for building a strong evidence base for public health policy, planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

Potentials of community-based early detection of cardiovascular disease risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a significant decline in Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) screening and early detection activities, especially Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). This study aims to assess the potential of community-based self-screening of CVD risk through the mhealth application.

Methods: This is operational research by actively involving the community to carry out self-screening through the mHealth application.
