New Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that India has the highest number of deaths due to Kovid in the world. The central government has strongly criticized the World Health Organization’s method of estimating Kovid deaths, saying the figures are unrealistic. Emphasizing that the country has a strong birth and death registration system, the Union Ministry of Health said the WHO’s deworming system was vague and scientifically questionable.

According to the latest figures released by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of deaths due to Kovid infection in India alone is estimated at 47 lakh between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. This is 10 times more than the official government figures. According to the World Health Organization, India accounts for one-third of the world’s covid deaths.

According to the latest WHO figures, more than 1.5 billion people worldwide have died from Kovid. That’s about twice what is currently being recorded. According to figures released by various countries, about 60 lakh people have died due to Kovid so far. The World Health Organization (WHO) has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating “Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia’s intelligence have been made more than once.

The Ministry of Health has said that India has questioned the World Health Organization’s claim that data from 17 Indian states was collected from certain websites and media and used for statistics. The ministry added that the WHO’s deworming system was vague and scientifically questionable and that the figures were prepared without considering India’s concerns.
