title: Getting together for injury control.
abstract: The proceedings of a round table session on injury control in Africa, held as part of the Third International Conference on Injury Prevention and Control, are outlined in the present article. The prospects for collaborative efforts in this field seem reasonable, but increased support from governments and the international donor community is essential if the immense burden of injury is to be significantly diminished.
