Pages:

Synopsis: 
This paper presents an overview of data collected in the first three years of operations from 2002 to 2004 of an injury surveillance system.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Injuries disproportionately affect people living in low and middle income countries, including the Caribbean;
however, little is known about the epidemiology of injuries in these areas. An Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department injury surveillance system was established at the San Fernando General Hospital, Trinidad and Tobago, to address this important data gap.
