Make Roads Safe

This week we reached the shocking number of 500,000 deaths on our roads in 2018 That’s like if the population of Geneva Canton or a medium size city was wiped out in just 5 months! Speed, alcohol, non-use of helmets & seatbelts, unsafe vehicles and infrastructure. Time for action

Happy to see that our friends @FIAFdn will organize an advocacy event during the #WorldHealthAssembly. It will focus on Children & Adolescents and the fatal disconnect in global policy for their health. #Youth #RoadSafety #Now

While most regions have seen a decrease in road-traffic related death rates, #SubSaharan #Africa and #MiddleEast still see over 20 deaths per 100,000 people every year: wrld.bg/vQro30hH8D8
