Trauma Care

This involves the provision of appropriate care at a medical establishment to road crash victims with major and minor injuries.

Minor injury: Injuries are treated by the patients themselves, a general practitioner, or the accident and emergency department. Correct treatment of injuries such as head and neck trauma and adequate follow-up care is important to limit the pain and prevent adverse consequences.

Major injury: A trauma care system needs to be put in place by every hospital receiving patients with major trauma.
