This critical problem was at the heart of the Government of Tanzania’s decision to adopt the road safety policy, 2009 with the key aim of reducing mortality and morbidity for crash victims. The outcomes for the crash victims can be improved by strengthening emergency medical services (EMS) and better, reliable trauma data.
