Road Traffic Injury Prevention and Care in Tanzania | ISAC
A collaboration between ISAC members, Ume氓 University and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences.
Aim
The overall aim of this research-training programme is to build sustainable research capacity to advance knowledge about mechanisms and dynamics of road traffic injuries in Tanzania. A series of complementary research projects address individual, social and environmental risk factors of road traffic injuries and the provision of care after an injury.
The number of road traffic injuries has increased rapidly in Tanzania since the 1990s and both mortality and morbidity data show that they contribute to a substantial part of death and burden of disease in the country. An increased understanding of the burden and circumstances of road traffic injuries in the specific context of Tanzania will allow for more targeted interventions.
