Dr. Adnan Hyder Releases "Child injuries and violence: responding to a global challenge" with WHO
Published
Injuries and violence are a significant cause of child death and physical and psychological disability. Every year injuries and violence kill approximately 950 000 children (aged less than 18 years) and injure or disable tens of millions more as discussed in the recent World report on child injury prevention. To undertake sustainable injury control work, there must be sufficient individual and institutional capacity. Hyder et al. (345-352) emphasize this point in their efforts to improve local ability to gather and handle injury data in a multicountry study.
