Abstract:
Every day the lives of more than 14,000 people are cut short as a result of an
injury globally. The burden of injury is especially high in LMICs, where over 90% of injury deaths occur. Although the hospitals should have a clear image of injury, little is known about injury statistics. This study was specifically designed to determine the patterns and outcome of commonly occurring injuries based on available health facility records in NEMMH, Hossana, Southern Ethiopia.
