Abstract

This issue of the FAL Bulletin examines
the implications of road safety for
the health-care system. It focuses on
the economic cost of treating and
rehabilitating road traffic injury victims
and, for the sake of better public
policy, proposes policy changes aimed
at improving data collection as well
as coordination among government
agencies.
