Abstract

Trauma is one of the major causes of death and disability in modern society, particularly for the young. Organized trauma systems reduce mortality and morbidity from trauma. An effective trauma system addresses all aspects of trauma care, from prevention to rehabilitation. Well-developed trauma systems are currently available only to a minority of the world's population. Trauma systems in developed nations have much potential for improvement.
