Where is the 28.9 figure coming from? The last WHO report we are aware of put it at 27.4. Did WHO publish/launch another report? https://t.co/PkYkSJMk9O

[WHO Uganda @WHOUganda]

Worldwide, 1.25 million people are killed and up to 50 million injured as a result of accidents on roads every year. The low and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear the heaviest burden (85%) of all road traffic accidents in the world.

[Yonas Tegegn WOLDEMARIAM @tegegny]

Worldwide deaths from road traffic accidents is = to more than 6 jets with 500 passengers crashing with no survivors every day throughout the year. This is unacceptable. We Must Act. @Parliament_Ug @RebeccaKadaga #RoadSafety @WorldBank @WHOUganda @SafeWayRightWay

[WHO Uganda @WHOUganda]

“I learnt lessons from my accident and I’d like to caution everyone:

#Roadsafety is not just a transport problem but it’s an economic, health and social development problem that requires an effective broad partnership of key actors to successfully prevent and control impact of road accidents” @tegegny

[WHO Uganda @WHOUganda]

“Traffic accidents are one of the top most causes of illness in #Uganda #RoadSafety

[WHO Uganda @WHOUganda]

“Legislative action by parliament is crucial to curb the burden of road carnage in the country. Uganda loses around $1.2bn of its GDP to road crash related causes” @tegegny

Someone was in the car you see here. They were someone’s relative, friend or workmate. 9 deaths happen everyday in Uganda due to road accidents. #SWRW18

[Dr. Mukama Rukuburo @stanmukama]

We can't talk about #SWRW18 and forget to mention the very unsafe pedestrian walk-ways in our towns, especially in #Kampala. Boda bodas riding on pavements are finishing our school children

[Cyber Multi Media Solutions @C_M_M_S_]

#SWRW18 Hon Ruhunda: Road safety is anchored on public policy. It is critical if road safety is to receive political support for its implementation. We look forward to working with the political leadership to achieve 50% safety by 2030. @swrwug
