{{Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) has developed a Mobile Vital Record System (Mobile VRS) that uses both online and offline technologies to record births and deaths in the country.}}<\/p>\n
The pilot study that started in 2010 and currently in 135 government hospitals, helps birth attendants register births by dialling *162# on UTL and *153*162# on MTN free of charge under the supervision of medical head or parish chief for births outside hospital. At least 57% of births are carried out in a hospital.<\/p>\n
URSB is mandated to register businesses, civil registrations and collection of non-tax revenue and oversee delivery of birth and death registration services in Uganda.<\/p>\n
Bemanya Twebaze, the registrar general URSB, said,\u201cWe want a system where census is done every day. Why do we need a periodical census? This programme will help the government to plan for education, health and other needs of the public.\u201d<\/p>\n
