Child injuries and violence World report on child injury
prevention Every day more than 2000 children die from an injury
which could have been prevented. This joint WHO/UNICEF report is
a plea to keep kids safe by promoting evidence-based injury
prevention interventions and sustained investment by all
sectors. The report presents the current knowledge about the
five most important causes of unintentional injury – road
traffic injuries, drowning, burns, falls and poisoning – and
makes seven recommendations for action.
