According to the Union health ministry, India also expressed its concern through five virtual meetings since November 2021

India has sent six letters articulating its concerns about the methodology the World Health Organisation has adopted to estimate the country’s Covid-19 death toll as at least 4 million, or more than seven times the official count of 521,000.

Apart from the six letters, India has expressed its concern through five virtual meetings since November 2021, the Union health ministry has said, responding to a New York Times report saying India has tried to stall the WHO’s effort to make its estimate public.

The WHO had planned to make public the estimates of excess deaths arising from Covid-19 in India as well as other countries in January but the release “has been delayed for months because of objections from India”, The NYT reported on Saturday.

The health ministry, in a media release issued late on Saturday night, has for the first time detailed its reasons for those objections, saying its “basic objection has not been with the result… but rather the methodology adopted”.

Experts say the WHO estimate of 4 million Covid-19 deaths in India — as The NYT reported — is consistent with multiple research studies since July 2021 that have all estimated death counts higher than 3 million in India.
