DOI: https://doi.org/10.25828/wada-r744 Version 01: Edited, anonymised dataset for public distribution Version 1 of the dataset was downloaded from Statistics South Africa's website on the 8th of May 2015. Morbidity Mortality This dataset contains statistics on deaths in South Africa in 2013. The registration of deaths in South Africa is regulated by the Births and Deaths Registration Act, 51 of 1992. The South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is responsible for the registration of deaths in South Africa. The data is collected with two instruments: The death register and the medical certificate in respect of death. The staff of the DHA Registrar of Deaths section fills in the former while the medical practitioner attending to the death completes the latter. Causes of death are coded by the Department of Home Affairs according to the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) ICD-10, as required by the World Health Organization for their member countries. The data is used by the Department of Home Affairs to update the Population Register. The forms are sent to Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) for their use for statistical purposes. From the two forms sent to Stats SA, the following data items of the deceased are extracted: place of residence, place of death, date of death, month and year of registration, sex, marital status, occupation, underlying cause of death, whether or not the death was certified by a medical practitioner, and whether or not the deceased died in a health institution or nursing home. From 1991 death notifications do not require data on population group, and therefore this dataset includes death data for all population groups. This dataset excludes 2013 deaths that were not registered, and late registrations which would not have been available to Stats SA in time for the production of the dataset. South Africa National coverage. The lowest level of geographic aggregation covered by the data is province.
