“Injury risks are greatest among underserved communities in low-income countries. Effectively mitigating this risk necessitates implementing effective preventative interventions encompassing social, environmental, and commercial determinants. The George Institute India looks forward to hosting The Safety 2024 Conference in New Delhi and working with the WHO and global experts to spearhead a multi-sectoral platform aimed at raising awareness of injury prevention, identifying gaps in evidence-based interventions, and sharing best practices to reduce the burden of injuries worldwide, save lives, and help build healthier communities.”

Injuries are a leading cause of deaths amongst children around the world. It is essential that research and collaboration on the issue of injury prevention is amplified and advocated. The world conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion is a very important opportunity to bring together global leaders and experts to share knowledge and advance the cause and save lives of people, especially vulnerable children, and adolescents, worldwide.

UNICEF wishes The George Institute for Global Health, India all success in hosting Safety 2024 in New Delhi. Among other areas of participation, UNICEF will specifically host a child focus workshop as a pre-event and coordinate field visits on road safety for the delegates to the conference based on our work already underway.
