COMBAT V.S CIVILIAN INJURIES
Injuries inflicted in a conflict environment are very dif- ferent to those encountered in the civilian population.
Currently there is no international humanitarian trau- ma registry and data describing the needs of those injured during conflict. The data available is inade- quate to support the development of humanitarian trauma systems, thus creating a further challenge in planning the management offered in the health care system.
