Abstract
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA)
has made dramatic progress in lowering premature death and
disability from most communicable, newborn, nutritional, and
maternity causes. However, non-communicable diseases are
still extremely high. Road traffic injuries, for example,
are the fourth leading cause of death in MENA. Compared to
other developing countries, the composition of road injury
deaths in the MENA region is much greater. This brief sheds
light on the occurrences of such road injuries in MENA, and
the possible measures to reduce the frequency of these occurrences.
