Guest edited by Tim Hardcastle, George Oosthuizen, Charlie Mock and Tarek Razek
"Trauma, the consequences and management of non-iatrogenic injury, whether intentional or unintentional, is a potentially preventable, yet everyday occurrence on the roads and in the homes of people across Africa. Almost 90% of the trauma-burden is in the developing world (LMICs), while the resources for treating trauma abound in higher income, economically developed countries."

Call for papers: Systematic reviews
Given the severe shortage in African emergency care data, AfJEM invites researchers to submit systematic reviews particularly targetting clinical emergency management of locally relevant conditions, resource availability and emergency services flow as it pertains to emergency medicine, nursing and out-of-hospital care. If you wish, do contact the editor to discuss an idea for a systematic review or submit your contribution directly
