Impacting trauma care in resource‐limited settings: Lessons learned from Tanzania's web‐based trauma registry initiatives
The web-based platform has become MOI's standard trauma database, demonstrating its feasibility and utility. It overcame the existing challenges of data completeness, timeliness, and usability for policymaking. Positive feedback has prompted plans to expand the platform to other hospitals, benefiting clinical benchmarking and trauma preventive efforts. Ensuring sustainability requires involvement from the Ministry of Health, ongoing training, functionality enhancements, and strengthened global partnerships.
