ENSURING HEALTHY TRANSPORT

Abstract

Transportation and health are often regarded to be of two different disciplines, as the former is seen to be more related to the engineering and planning sector, whilst the later is inclined towards the medical and health sciences. A closer scrutiny will however make many realise that indeed transport has links to our health. Most noticeable to the general public will be with regard to transport safety. The gory details portrayed by media following any disastrous accident, brings into our mind the need for the medical team to take charge from the immediate emergency procedures on site to the life saving procedures and subsequent rehabilitation periods to be experienced by victims in hospitals.
