“Establishing the number of people who die each year and the causes of their death is one of the most important ways to assess the effectiveness of a country's health system,” the WHO press service said on Twitter.

In third place - lower respiratory tract infections. Further on the list are complications of the perinatal period (it starts from the 22nd week of pregnancy), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diarrheal diseases. Strange as it may seem, HIV / AIDS is only in seventh place in the “rating”.
