Fatality Rate Reduction

Fatality Rate Reduction refers to a decrease in the percentage of deaths relative to the total number of cases or incidents over time. For example, if fewer people die from a disease after interventions like better medical care or prevention measures, the fatality rate drops. This indicator helps gauge improvements in treatment, safety, or prevention efforts, showing progress in saving lives. It is different from simply reducing the number of cases, as it focuses on the proportion of affected individuals who do not survive.
