The overall goal of CHERG is to develop and deploy new and improved
evidence on the causes and determinants of maternal, neonatal and child morbidity
and mortality, on intervention coverage, and on the effectiveness of interventions
to inform and influence global priorities and programs.
The main purposes of the CHERG are
- advise WHO and other international organizations on the
most appropriate methods and assumptions for their global, regional and country
level child health epidemiological estimates;
-
advise researchers and public health officials on the different issues involved
in the estimation of cause-specific morbidity and mortality; and
- publish papers, reports and reviews on child health epidemiology,
especially on the distribution of causes of death.
