In terms of the rates of injury, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are regions of the world where road traffic accidents are taking many, many lives, particularly in the younger age groups. |
The global cost of road accidents in developing and emerging nations is at least $100 billion a year. This is more than twice the total aid received from all bilateral and multilateral sources. |
This is a neglected health problem. |
This issue needs a global visibility. Part of our mandate is to make sure there is more money for research because we don't have answers to many of the questions now. |
