This report on Mortality in Libya, with a particular emphasis on causes of death in the country for two years, 2016-2017, comes when there is a shortage of mortality studies in this country and in the developing world. The importance of death studies lies in the fact that they map out the hidden features of a community's health program. Unfortunately, there are no robust death studies in most developing countries, most of which are descriptive studies of statistical reports or public surveys. This study aims to read and review this report scientifically and impartially, and to shed more light on this report. This report is the first of its kind in Libya. It discusses the causes of death in Libya for two years, 2016 - 2017. The report was issued in English and Arabic. The report relied basically on medically documented death certificates for death cases in hospitals or homes in Libya. The report indicated that there were 25 478 deaths in Libya in 2016 and 27 167 deaths in 2017, with a crude death rate of 4.0/1000 of the population for 2016 and 4.1/1000 inhabitants for the year 2017. Besides, cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of death at all ages and sexes during the two years covered by the study. There is an urgent need for well-designed meta-analytical studies on mortality in Libya.
