Trauma Care in Pakistan.
J Pak Med Assoc Jan ;58(3):102-3.

Trauma is a major health concern of the modern world and is the second leading cause of death and disability in the age group between 15-44 years. Approximately twenty million people are killed or injured every year due to the road traffic accidents.2 Similarly 1.66 million deaths were attributed to violence in the year 2000. The economic cost for the care of trauma victims and its after effects, puts an enormous strain on the resources of the countries but the impact upon the family is far worse as most of the victims are usually the sole bread winners.
