“Many countries in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region have lessons to share in reducing road trauma. Their progress fits with the vital framework to strengthen road safety systems in the Region.
The United Arab Emirates was one of just 10 countries that reduced road fatalities by more 50% in the decade to 2021. Oman reduced deaths by more than 40%, Bahrain by more than 30%, and Iran (Islamic Republic of), Qatar and Saudi Arabia all reduced fatalities from road crashes by more than 20% in ten years.”
