Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are a major cause of death and disability around the world. Significant progress has been made in reducing RTIs, but more can and should be done. Forum members bring a wealth of experience and forward thinking to the table. With representation from health systems, private and public sectors, non-governmental organizations and research institutions, the panel reflects the multi-sectoral nature of road safety and trauma care.

The Forum will build on an analysis of existing best practices as well as promising practices at local, national and international levels to make practical recommendations to policy-makers on how the burden of RTIs can be reduced in an innovative and sustainable way. The Forum will consider a wide range of policy levers and interventions, including primary prevention, post-injury care and rehabilitation to effect change. Key to the work of the Forum will be a focus on innovations that can provide new solutions, new methods for implementation or new potential for scaling up evidence-based interventions to save millions of lives.
