WHO - European facts and the Global status report on road safety 2015

A report on the European facts and the Global status report on road safety 2015 has now been published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). In 2013, almost 85.000 people died from road-traffic injuries in the WHO European Region. Although the regional mortality rate is the lowest among WHO regions (9.3 deaths per 100 000 population), the rates of road traffic deaths vary widely in between European countries. More systematic efforts are needed if the global target of a 50% reduction in road crash deaths is to be achieved by 2020. NTUA contributed to the peer review of this Report.   ΠΗΓΗ: Ε.Μ.Π
