摘要：Complete, timely and accurate registration of death is crucial for understanding population dynamics and planning effective development programmes. However, there has been little research on the dynamics of the certification process and the extent of training of physician certifiers. This study aims to find out the extent to which the training imparted to Medical Officers at primary and secondary level could improve their skills in filling up of MCCD certificates. A pretested semi-structured proforma to test various components of the cause of death certificate was administered to the participants before and after the training that lasted for five hours. Of 120, only 80 participants from four trainings filled the pre and post-test tool. Almost all of them thought that there was a dire necessity of MCCD training. Conclusion & Recommendation: The MCCD training imparted to the Medical Officers significantly improved their knowledge regarding various causes of death to be entered in MCCD certificates. Adequate training and proper sensitization of the private and government doctors regarding the usefulness of MCCD data is required. Pre and post-test assessment as utilized at this center offers feedback to the trainers as well as participants about the adequacy and importance of MCCD. Rechecking of randomly selected forms (say 10%) filled by medical officers by concerned doctors at district level is recommended.
