“The global injury and violence prevention community has made good progress in building evidence on what works to prevent road traffic deaths, owning, falls and violence against Children and women, among other injuries. We have also been successful at catalysing action on these significant public health challenges. However, injuries and violence still take the lives of around 4.4 million people every year. Much more action is needed. Safety 2024 will be a unique opportunity for our community to share the latest knowledge and experiences and generate further momentum to save lives. We at the World Health Organisation are delighted to work with experts from India and around the world to ensure that Safety 2024 is a great success and contributes to building a safer world.”
