Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a growing public health concern, topping injury-related deaths and disability. Globally, TBIs are estimated to cause over 8.1 million years lived with disability and mortality in 3% annually; burdening economies with significant health costs from treatment and prolonged neuropsychological sequelae. Over 90% of TBI related deaths disproportionately occur in low- and middle-income countries such as those in the African region. In india, such deaths from TBI mainly result from fatal road traffic crashes and delayed presentation to health facilities.
