every year and up to 50 million more are injured. If
current trends continue, the number of people killed and
injured on the world’s roads will rise by more than
60% between 2000 and 2020. Most of these injuries will
occur in developing countries like India and China. In
India alone more than 250,000 people die in road
accidents and many times more are injured. Dr Priya

developing countries like India.
