and other systems to provide appropriate emergency treatment and longer term

Activity 2: Develop hospital trauma care systems and evaluate the quality of care
through the implementation of good practices on trauma care systems and quality
assurance.
Activity 3: Provide early rehabilitation and support to injured patients and those bereaved by road traffic crashes, to minimize both physical and psychological trauma.
Activity 4: Encourage the establishment of appropriate road user insurance schemes to finance rehabilitation services for crash victims through:
Introduction of mandatory third-party liability; and International mutual recognition of insurance, e.g. green card system.
Activity 5: Encourage a thorough investigation into the crash and the application of an
effective legal response to road deaths and injuries and therefore encourage fair
settlements and justice for the bereaved and injuries.
