But while Bambas Nolen stresses the importance of linking universal birth registration to existing vital registration systems, she adds that health information systems work better in some places than in others. Only 57 of the WHO member countries—most of which are more developed countries—have a vital registration system that covers at least 90 percent of their populations. Only 39 of the countries have a health information system sufficient to support basic analysis of socioeconomic inequalities and health. In sub-Saharan Africa, such systems often are insufficiently supported or unable to accurately record causes of death.

In such situations, Bambas Nolen says, international organizations and donor nations could strive to help local areas document their births, or they could aid countries in boosting the capacity of their vital registration systems. For instance, a strong health information system would provide information on:.
There is also a feedback mechanism at work here, notes Bambas Nolen: These information systems can play an important role in supporting human rights to health.
When the data are collected, analyzed, and released to the public, people become aware of how health status is patterned—fairly or unfairly—within society. The mundane details of the birth certificate and Obama's communist associations tend to get bogged down, however.

We first posted this item on July 1, Since then, the Birther movement has only gained more national exposure, including discussion on numerous political television and radio programs. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii Department of Health, to issue this statement on July 27, Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawai'i State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawai'i State Department of Health verifying Barrack Hussein Obama was born in Hawai'i and is a natural-born American citizen. I have nothing further to add to this statement or my original statement issued in October , over eight months ago.
For more information on the announcement, as well as background on the Obama birth certificate issue, check out this article from the Honolulu Advertiser , posted July 28, Back on June 27, , PolitiFact published a story we hoped would put the whole Obama birth certificate controversy to rest.

This question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided a copy, with a seal, of the president's birth. I know there are apparently at least , people that continue to doubt the existence of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each of those , to download.
