abstract
  • Despite causing death and injury on a similar scale to global diseases like Malaria and TB, road traffic injuries are not included in Millennium Development Goals and receive overseas funding which is a tiny fraction of that allocated to Malaria and TB. Road crashes also hit the poorest countries and poorest people hardest. The annual economic costs of road crashes to low and middle income nations are estimated at between $65 billion - $100 billion. This compares with official overseas aid in 2005 of $106 billion. The majority of those killed or injured are pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. Road injury is a significant cause of poverty amongst lower income families who lose a breadwinner.
