  1. Web Based Global Prototype for a Road Traffic Injury Surveillance System Under WHO Guidelines

  2. Road Traffic Injuries Current Global Situation Road traffic crashes (RTCs) account for a high proportion of morbidity and mortality globally. Every day about 3000 people die and 30,000 are seriously injured on the roads. Annually, the number of people killed in RTCs is estimated at almost 1.2 million, while the number injured could be as high as 50 million.

  3. Global Burden of Disease Changes in rank order of DALYs for the 10 leading causes of the global burden of disease. Murray CJL, Lopez AD, 1996

  4. Why Global Prototype • Road Traffic Injuries are highly preventable • To develop effective prevention strategies, countries need accurate, complete, timelydata • Most developed countries have efficient traffic injury surveillance systems • Only a few developing countries have such systems due to lack of resources • A global prototype will help many developing countries to develop their own surveillance systems and provide internationally comparable data

  5. System Objectives • to provide accurate, complete, timely data on road traffic injuries that are crucial for making good management decisions • to determine the incidence, characteristics and risk factors of rod traffic injuries • to identify areas where intervention is needed • to propose cost effective interventions. • to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of injury prevention programmes over time. • to compare local, regional, national and international data on road traffic injuries

  6. Current Situation Japan JTDB – Japan Trauma Data Bank In the developing world • Thailand - Injury Surveillance System (since 1993) • Cambodia - Road Traffic Accident and Victim Information System (since 2004) • Sri Lanka - Trauma Surveillance System (since 2006 – a pilot project)

  7. HOSPITAL INTERNET JAPAN CRASH POLICE

  8. Expected Outcome • A global prototype which allows to compare country data which can be implemented in any country with minor adjustments • Provide accurate, complete, timely data for prevention strategies • Produce reports periodically and at the request • Convert data to standard statistical and demographic software. i.e. SPSS, Epinfo • Ease future research work in RTI prevention
