Chairperson of the Trauma Care International Foundation, TCIF, Dr. Deola Philips has raised alarm over recurrent cases of road accidents which in most cases leave the victims with injuries or death.
Speaking in Lagos during the 2019 Trauma Conference tagged; Trauma Care: The Way Forward, Philips said annually, Nigeria records over 4 million injuries and more than 200,000 deaths are as a result of road crashes, a major cause of traumatic injuries in the environment.
She said the conference was put together by the TCIF as a solution-based convention to emphasise the possibility of an absolutely adequate system for trauma care and emergency response in Nigeria and West Africa.
