“[This has] been the problem before the pandemic [but was solved during the pandemic] obviously because of the mobility restrictions. Now, we’re seeing it again,” National Economic and Development Authority Undersecretary Rosemarie G. Edillon said on Tuesday. Apart from vehicular accidents, deaths caused by exposure to smoke, fire and flames consistent with fires increased 0.5 percent to 389 Filipinos in 2022 from 387 Filipinos in 2021.
The leading causes of death in the same period in 2021 were ischaemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and Covid-19 virus. Deaths due to diabetes mellitus recorded 41,288 cases or a 6.3-percent share, making it the fourth leading cause of death; while deaths due to hypertensive diseases, which ranked fifth, recorded 37,490 cases or a 5.7-percent share.
