𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — 𝟭𝟳 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱
Today we remember victims of traumatic injury and recommit to prevention, timely care and community action. Trauma—from road crashes, falls, burns, interpersonal violence and disasters—kills and disables millions every year, but many of those losses are preventable. Small choices and system changes save lives: follow road rules, use helmets and seat belts, avoid distractions, keep vehicles and roads safe, and learn basic life support so you can act during the Golden Hour.
Share this message to raise awareness. If you drive, ride or walk today, make safety your priority.
