Global terrorist activities have increased significantly over the past decade. The impact of terrorism-related trauma on the health of individuals in low- and middle-income countries is under-reported. Trauma management in African countries in particular is uncoordinated, with little or no infrastructure to cater for emergency surgical needs. This article highlights the need for education, training and research to mitigate the problems related to terrorism and surgical public health.
在过去十年中,全球恐怖主义活动显著增加。在低收入和中等收入国家,与恐怖主义相关的创伤对个人健康的影响报告不足。特别是在非洲国家,创伤管理缺乏协调,几乎没有或根本没有基础设施来满足紧急手术需求。本文强调了开展教育、培训和研究以减轻与恐怖主义及外科公共卫生相关问题的必要性。
