Bengaluru: K Sudhakar, Karnataka's Health Minister, said on Friday that the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated, without scientific basis or rational explanation, that the number of deaths reported in India owing to COVID-19 is not actual. Every fatality in our country has been scientifically recorded, he noted. In India, every death is recorded in the most fragmentary manner possible, he said.
Sharing concern with media, Sudhakar stated, "Without any scientific evidence or rational explanation, WHO has stated that the number of deaths reported in India as a result of Covid-19 is not accurate. This has been condemned by all of the health ministers in attendance." "We keep to our own figures because this is the type of data that India has always used. Every fatality in this country has been registered scientifically. In India, every death is recorded in the most disorganised manner possible "He said.
Earlier on Friday, the Central Council of Health and Family Welfare (CCHFW) passed a resolution strongly opposing to the World Health Organization's (WHO) estimates of 4.7 million COVID-19 deaths in India. the sources further said, WHO estimations are "flawed," and India finds the assumptions and numbers "unacceptable."
The WHO issue of COVID-19 deaths was discussed during the 14th Central Council of Health and Family Welfare Conference (CCHFW) in Kevadia, Gujarat, which was chaired by Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. The resolution was passed by around 20 health ministers who were present at the CCHFW.
According to the WHO research, COVID-19 is likely to have killed over 4.7 million individuals in India.
