Fatal Childhood Injuries in Shimla Hills

Childhood injuries has been a neglected issue so far even though injury and violence are a major killer of children throughout the world. Due to paucity of data on child hood injuries from our country it becomes difficult to establish a baseline of such injuries so that preventive interventions can be instituted at the right time and the right place.Availability of such data can therefore significantly play an important in reducing mortality and morbidity of children due to fatal and non fatal childhood injuries,
