Zambia - Lusaka Multinational Injury Surveillance Pilot Project 2007
General Info
The Multinational Injury Surveillance Pilot Project was conducted in emergency departments of six hospitals in the following countries: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, and Zambia. All of the sites used a standard questionnaire that recorded the cause, location, severity, and outcome of each injury. The majority of the reported injury cases were caused by road traffic accidents and interpersonal violence. The Zambian study took place at the Lusaka University Hospital.
