Glad the upcoming Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety 18-20 Feb in Marrakesh- 1st time it happens in Africa! - will also be an opportunity to discuss reporting on road crashes

An important parting prescription by @Surgeon_General: loneliness and isolation deserve mush more attention of the public health community. The upcoming @WHO #EB156 will discuss its 1st ever resolution on the topic in a few weeks
