World Trauma Day is observed on October 17 every year. This day was started in 2011 in New Delhi. Later, all countries started observing it as World Trauma Day.
Due to a little carelessness, many lives are lost in road accidents every day. Think how precious each life is. Families bereaved, parents bereft of children.
By 2030, road accidents will become the fifth leading cause of death in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Every day more than 400 people lose their lives to trauma. World Trauma Day aims to raise awareness of how to prevent deaths and disabilities from trauma.
Helmet use can prevent serious head injuries in accidents. However, health experts say that head injuries are now more common for those riding behind two-wheelers. Not only those in front, but also those behind must wear helmets. To avoid four-wheeler accidents, the main thing to keep in mind is that both front and rear passengers wear seat belts.
There are many causes of trauma such as road accidents, falls, burns, industrial accidents and violent injury. But car accidents are the leading cause of trauma.
If each of us is careful, we can reduce the accident rate. Pay attention to these things.
Drive carefully, Pay attention to the traffic signals and warning signal on the road, Follow road safety rules, Bike/scooter riders and those sitting on the back should wear helmets, Wear a seat belt when riding a four-wheeler, Take frequent breaks to avoid fatigue while driving long distances and do not use mobile phone while driving.
