It provides detailed data on patient demographics, trauma causes, care, medical outcomes, and road traffic injuries. |

It also covers insights about how to effectively run a digital trauma registry in a low-resource setting, including challenges and lessons learned. Lastly, the report also shares learning insights from the implementation of the EMS pilot. |
