Description
Victor Zeng and eight co-authors charted in 2024 road and transport injuries reported in Ghana's Volta Region from 2019 to 2023. Transport harm kills over a million people a year worldwide, and rates climb fastest in poorer countries. Local data are needed before safety money can be aimed well.
The team used monthly clinic reports for injuries and facility records for deaths across the five years. They mapped where injuries cluster, how counts moved over time, and which groups appear most. Patterns in the data point to the roads, seasons, and road users where action should start. The study gives regional planners a factual base.
