About the Event

Addressing a Critical Public Health Challenge

Globally, over 4.4 million people die from injuries annually, and over 50 million survive with disability—nearly twice the number of deaths from Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malaria combined.

Growing Burden

While global trends show a minor decrease in injury burden over the past decade, East Africa continues to see a steady increase, with road traffic crashes being the leading cause of death among young people.

Emergency Response

A robust and rapidly responsive emergency care system is crucial to adequately address this escalating public health threat, spanning pre- and in-hospital settings.

Regional Collaboration

This event brings together experts, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders from across East Africa to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing to enhance understanding and improve emergency care.
