Burden and Response to Road Traffic Accidents in India:

The academic monograph Burden and Response to Road Traffic Accidents in India: A Mumbai-Centric Public Health Analysis looks at the pre-hospital care, policy responses, and epidemiology of road traffic injuries (RTIs) in India, with a particular emphasis on Mumbai. The book tackles a serious public health issue: Mumbai reported 3,150 incidents and 360 fatalities from RTI in 2022, accounting for 11% of the worlds RTI deaths (1.35 million annually). The manuscript provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the burden, risk factors, and interventions associated with RTI by integrating data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) and Mumbai Traffic Police reports.
