The Registrar General's Department now conducts registration of births and still births at the bedside of the mother while still in hospital. This has led to significant improvements in the capture of these vital events. Trained registration officers, who are employed by the Agency, are stationed in all hospitals island-wide to effect such registrations.  Vital information, including but not limited to, date of birth of child, sex of child, mother’s name and doctor or midwife present at time of birth are captured for civil registration purposes.
