NotefromWorldHealthOrganization

Everyyear,about1.3millionpeoplekilledinroadtrafficcrashesontheworld'sroads,andasmanyas50million
othersareinjuredorpermanentlydisabled.Over90%ofdeathsoccurinlowandmiddleincomecountriesand
is now incurring a major public health problem. In the Western Pacific Region, it was reported in 2009 that
around300,000peopledieeachyear.Thisamountstomorethan800peopledyingeverydayinthisregion.

InCambodia,roadtrafficdeathsandinjuriesarealarmingandrequireaseriouscoordinationandcollaboration
amongsttherelevantgovernmentagencies,developmentpartners,andcivilsocietytotacklethispublichealth
challenges.AccordingtotheRoadCrashandVictimInformationSystem(RCVIS)annualreportin2010,1,816had
died and 6,718 had serious injuries resulting from 6,941 road traffic crashes. The most vulnerable are the
motorcyclistthatconstitute72%ofthetotalroadtrafficcrashesand59%oftheseareyoungadults,between
theagedof15and29yearsold.

We appreciate for a strong political will of the government of Cambodia to address preventive measures for
roadtrafficcrashes.Cambodia'sactionplansoutlinestepstowardsimprovingthesafetyofroadsandvehicles;
enhancing emergency services; and building up road safety management. It also calls for increased legislation
andenforcementonusinghelmets,seatbeltsandchildrestraintsandavoidingdrinkinganddriving,speeding
andoverloading.Furthermore,wearepleasedtoknowthattheGovernmentofCambodiaisintheprocessof
reviewing and amending the necessary articles of the current road traffic law, to include helmet wearing for
passengers, more punitive measures on road traffic violators, and other effective measures to improve road
trafficsafetyinthecountry.

We acknowledge the hard work of ministries and institutions particularly, the Ministry of Interior (MOI), the
National Road Safety Committee (NRSC), the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT), the Ministry of
Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), the Ministry of Health (MoH), and partners like the Global Road Safety
Partnership(GRSP),HandicapInternationalBelgium(HIB),CambodianRedCross(CRC),AsianInjuryPrevention
Foundation(AIPF),andCoalitionforRoadSafety(CRY),whohavebeenworkingproactivelytoreducefatalities,
injuriesanddisabilitiescausedbyroadtrafficcrashesinCambodia.

WHO strongly recommends responsible ministries particularly the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of
Interior(MOI),theNationalRoadSafetyCommittee(NRSC),theMinistryofPublicWorksandTransport(MPWT)
to increase efforts with appropriate effective measures in maintaining most reliable Road Crash and Victim
InformationSystem(RCVIS),whichalltheseaccuratestatisticsareessentialforpolicyanddecisionmakersto
monitortrendsofroadtrafficcrashesandtoidentifykeyprioritiesforroadsafetyinterventions.

InviewofthefactthatWHOhasaroleincoordinatingglobaleffortsovertheDecadeandwillmonitorprogress
towards achieving the objectives of the Decade at the national and international levels, we will continue
extending the necessary assistance to the government counterparts and will work closely with all partners to
decrease drinkdriving and speeding; to increase the use of helmets for drivers as well as for passengers,
wearingofseatbeltsandchildrestraints;andimproveemergencycareservicesinCambodia.

ExecutiveSummary
TheRCVISAnnualReport2010reviewsthemainroadcrashtrendsinCambodiacomparedtopreviousyears.Basedon
thedatafromtrafficpoliceandhealthfacilities,in2010,18,287roadcrashcasualtieswerereported.Amongthem,
1,816werefatalities(anaverageof5fatalitiesperday).Overthelast6years,thenumberoffatalitieshasdoubled.At
the same time, the population has increased by 8% and the number of registered motorized vehicles has risen by
187%.

Therewere25%increasesinthefatalityrateamong100,000inhabitantssince2006(9.6to12.7).Ontheotherhand,
decreases in the fatality rate per 10,000 registered vehicles were also observed since 2006 (18.1 to 11.0). These
decreases can be attributed to the huge increase in motorization. In the comparison of fatality rates per 10,000
registeredvehicleswithLaoPDRandVietnam,Cambodiahasthehighestrate.BasedontheavailablefigureinRCVIS

Recommendations
Based on the statistics presented in this report and a situational analysis of road safety in the country, key
recommendationsarepresentedinthissection.Theobjectiveoftheserecommendationsistocontributetothe
prioritizationofthe20112020NationalRoadSafetyActionPlanimplementation,withparticularfocusonthe
helmet wearing, drunk driving and over speeding intervention. These recommendations below are structured
basedontheframeworkofthe10yearactionplan,whichconsistsof7pillars.

RoadSafetyManagement
1.CapacitybuildingoftheNationalRoadSafetyCommittee

TheNationalRoadSafetyCommittee(NRSC)isthebodytaskedwithoverallmanagementandcoordinationof
roadsafetyinCambodia.AlthoughanimprovementofthecapacityintheGeneralSecretariatoftheNational
Road Safety Committee (GSNRSC) has been observed in recent years, the GSNRSC still requires continuous
information and institutional strengthening to make a significant impact on reducing crashes, fatalities,
disabilitiesandinjuriesontheroadsofCambodia.

2.RoadSafetyResearch
Roadsafetyresearchiscriticaltoimprovetheknowledgeandunderstandingaboutcontributingfactorstoroad
crashes. A body of research should be compiled for the purpose of providing a qualitative understanding of
behaviors leading to road crashes. Based on a comprehensive, researchbased knowledge foundation,
evidencedbasedstrategiesandpoliciescanbedeveloped,andfundsforRoadSafetyinterventionscanbemore
easily obtained. Dangerous behaviors (such as drunk driving, speeding and without helmet wearing) and
vulnerable road users (pedestrians, motorcyclists, and children) should be targeted for further researches, in
addition to the existing data from RCVIS. Additionally, focus should also be placed on developing local
researchers with capabilities to conduct ongoing road safetyrelated researches, building upon linkage
developedwithinternationalroadsafetyresearchdepartments.HIBisoneoftheleadingagenciesthatplanto
extend its intervention in the road safety research field and strengthen its collaboration with international

3.Monitoring/Evaluation

Afterthedevelopmentofthe20112010NationalRoadSafetyActionPlananditsimplementationin2011,itis
crucial that the government starts to have a monitoring plan for their action plan implementation. This can
shape the implementation into more prioritized areas and focus on the results/impacts of the whole
intervention,especiallyonthesafetyperformanceindicators(helmetwearing,speedinganddrunkdriving).The
monitoringandevaluationtoolsshouldbeclearlydevelopedandrolledout.Primarydatawillbenecessaryin

4.StrengtheningRCVISdatacollectionsystem
To ensure the accuracy of the RCVIS, its data collection system should be strengthening inside its existing
government networks (MoI and MoH). Particular focus should be on the data collections in health facilities,
wheresignificantunderreportinghasbeenobservedsince2009.

I.Introduction
Roadsafetyfundingandactions,decisionmaking,policyandstrategyareeffectivelysetandimplementedbased
onevidencegatheredthroughaccurateandcomprehensivedatacollectionsystems.HIB,therefore,hasfocused
resources since 2004 to initiate the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS), in close collaboration
with the Ministry of Health (MoH), Interior (MoI), and Public Works and Transport (MPWT). RCVIS has been
recognizedbynationalandinternationalstakeholdersastheonlyofficialsourceofroadcrashandcasualtydata
forCambodia.
The objective of the Road Crash and Victim Information System (RCVIS) is to provide government and
development stakeholders in Cambodia with accurate, continuous and comprehensive information on road
crashesandvictimsforthepurposesofincreasingunderstandingofthecurrentroadsafetysituation,planning
appropriate responses and policy, and evaluating impact of current and future initiatives. The RCVIS has
expandedtocover193districts/citiesinall24provincesbycollecting,centralizing,analysinganddisseminating
information provided by two main sources: health facilities (public hospitals and private clinics) and traffic
police.

system(ISS)data.Inaddition,anewversionofdatalinkagesystem(toautomaticallycombinedatafromtraffic

This annual report analyses the information collected by RCVIS for the year 2010. It is a synthesis of all the
monthly reports that were published throughout 2010. The previous annual reports (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007,

RCVIShascombinedtwomaindatasources(trafficpoliceandhealthfacilities).Toavoiddoubleentriesbetweenhealth
facilitiesandtrafficpolicedata,whenacasualtyisreportedbyahealthfacilityaswellasbythetrafficpolice,itistaken
into account only once (shared around 4% among fatalities and 5% among injured people). In 2010, traffic police
played a very important role in collecting data on fatalities (almost 98% of fatalities throughout Cambodia were
reported by traffic police). Although health facilities reported only around 6% of fatalities, they played a more
importantroleincollectingtrafficinjurydata.Almost40%ofthoseinjurieswerereportedbyhospitalorhealthcenter
staff.

Figure2:PercentageofinjuriesandfatalitiesreportedtoRCVISbytrafficpoliceandhealthfacilities2010

The coverage areas reported by traffic police are the same as lastyear (whole country). Although all district police
sectorsprovidedthedataregularlytotheMinistryofInterior,itcanbeobservedthattheirattentionondatacollection

Inaddition,basedonthenumberofdatasources,only43ofhospitals(65%ofallhospitals)and37healthcenters2(5%
ofallhealthcenters)participatedintothesystemin2010.Additionally,inaverage,eachhospitalprovideddatafor

As mentioned in the Data source section, RCVIS has combined two main data sources (traffic police and health
facilities).Amongallrecordsfrombothsources,98%ofrecordedfatalitiesand66%ofinjurieswerereportedbytraffic
police.Healthfacilitiesreportedonlyaround6%offatalitiesand40%ofinjuries.Althoughalldistrictpolicesectors

It is also noted that many health centers are located in remote areas, while most of road crashes happen along national
roads and urban areas. So, those health centers have not treated any road crash casualties and they dont have any records.

Compared to 2009 (with the capturerecapture estimation), the number of fatalities and serious injuries in 2010
increasedby10%and17%respectively,whiletheslightinjuriesdecreasedby12%.

To conclude, the capture recapture calculation can be a kind of experiment on the completeness of the overall

X.2Analysisonroadcrashcost

Attheendof2009,HandicapInternationalBelgium,incollaborationwiththeTransportResearchInstituteHasselt
University of Belgium conducted a research study on the cost of road crashes in Cambodia18. Data in 2009 RCVIS
annualreportwasusedtocalculatethiscost,inadditiontoprimarydatacollectionondetailedindividualcost.The
researchfoundthatroadcrashesin2009costCambodia248millionUSD.Inaddition,theaveragecost(inUSD)on
propertyloss,suffering,medicaltreatmentandsoonwerealsoaddressed.

Thesamemethodologywasappliedwiththe2010roadcrashdata.PercentageincreasesintheConsumerPriceIndex
(CPI)wasalsotakenintoconsiderationtoupdatetheincomesandindividualcostofroadcrashcasualtiesin2009to
2010.

BasedontheavailablefigureinRCVIS(withoutunderreportingestimation),theannualeconomiccostofroadcrashes
in2010wasequalto279millionUSD,anincreaseof13%comparedtothecostin2009.

However,ifthefindingfromthecapturerecapturemethodwasappliedintothiscostanalysiscalculation,roadcrashes
in2010hadanenormousimpactonthesocialandeconomicwelfareofCambodiawithanestimatedannualcostof
415.5millionUSD,whichis3.5%oftheCambodianGDP19.ThiscostissimilartothegeneralestimationofADB20that
