Evaluating Trauma Care Capacity and Capability in Low‐Resource Conflict Settings: Pilot Implementation of the International Assessment of Capacity for Trauma‐Blast Tool at Regional Health Facilities in Burkina Faso
The INTACT-B tool provides a feasible instrument for evaluating trauma care capacity and capability in LRCS. Significant needs both with respect to material resources, infrastructure, and training were identified in the study setting. Information generated through use of the INTACT-B tool may help guide efforts to strengthen regional and district health facilities closer to point-of-injury, which holds potential to reduce preventable death among local casualties in LRCS.
