Description

Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the leading cause of human deaths in the world and leading contributor to the burden of disease world-wide. According to the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention, 2004 nearly 1.2 million people die and 20-50 million persons are injured and disabled for the rest of their lives every year globally due to road traffic crashes. This burden amounts to 2.1% of all cause mortality and 23% of the mortality due to all injuries in the world. It has been estimated that 85% of these fatalities occur in low and middle income countries that drains off 1-2% of the country's GDP notwithstanding the adverse social, physical and psychological sufferings of the injured and disabled survivors. Road traffic injury death rates constitute a rapidly growing problem, with global deaths from injuries projected to rise from 5.1 million in 1990 to 8.4 million in 2020 (2). It has been predicted that rapid urbanization and motorization in the developing countries will account for much of the increase, and the rise will be steeper due to lack of appropriate road engineering and lack of injury prevention programmes in the public health sector (3).
