Integrate Road Safety Within Wider Goals, PM tells UN Forum

More speeches by our Prime Minister

Addressing a UN Forum on Sustainable Transport and Road Safety on Thursday, September 26, 2013, organized as part of the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly currently underway in New York, Prime Minister Simpson Miller said “we are here today not only because of the importance of road safety as a public health and safety issue but also because of its impact on the lives of the family members of the victims. As we consider priorities for the post-2015 development goals, tackling road traffic injuries is an important and achievable objective which should be part of the agenda. The most effective way to reduce the appalling health burden of road traffic injuries is to integrate road safety securely within wider goals.
