Abstract
Trauma care in India has made significant progress in the past two decades. However, a coordinated and concerted effort has sometimes been lacking. Information on the various aspects of injury prevention, trauma education, and prehospital and in-hospital trauma care in India has been available in a fragmented manner so far. This comprehensive review aims to understand in detail and bring together the various facets of injury prevention and trauma care in India, including the efforts being put at various levels to tackle the problem. The article also includes a detailed SWOT analysis, assessing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and suggests strategies to overcome them.
