4. non-communicable disease, or
NCDs, is a medical condition or
disease which by definition is
non-infectious and nontransmissible between persons
. NCDs may be chronic diseases
of long duration and slow
progression, or they may result
in more rapid death such as
4
some types of sudden stroke.
11. Who is at risk of such
diseases?
All age groups and all regions are
affected by NCDs. Often associated
with older age groups, but evidence
shows that more than 9 million of all
deaths attributed to non
communicable
11
12. diseases (NCDs) occur before the age
of 60. Of these “premature" deaths,
90% occurred in low- and middleincome countries….
12
13. Children, adults and the
elderly are all vulnerable to
the risk factors that contribute
to non communicable
diseases,
13
15. NCDs and global health
NCDs by far is the leading cause of
death in the world account for 63% of
all death.
80% of death occur in low and middl
income country
Nine million of all death occur before
15
the age of 60
16. by 2020, NCDs will attribute
to 7 out of every 10 deaths
in developing countries.
killing 52 million people
annually worldwide by 2030.
NCDs are not only health
problem but developmental
16
challenge as well.
17. Impact on development
The NCD epidemic strikes
disproportionately among people of
lower social positions. NCDs and
poverty create a vicious cycle whereby
poverty exposes people
17
18. to behavioral risk factors
for NCDs and in turn ,
the resulting NCDs may
become an important driver
to the downward spiral that
leads families towards
poverty.
18
19. The burden of disease
attributed to NCDs has been
estimated at 85% in industrialized
nations, 70% in middle income
nations, and nearly 50% in
countries with the lowest national
incomes.
19
21. Comprehensive approach requires
multisectrol coordination, including
health, finance, foreign affairs,
education, agriculture, planning and
others
Reduce the common modifiable
risk factors
21
22. Essential NCD interventions that
can be delivered through a primary
health-care
raising taxes on tobacco, banning
tobacco advertising and
legislating to curb smoking in
public places
22
23. Reducing levels of salt in foods.
Stopping the inappropriate
marketing of unhealthy food
Non-alcoholic beverages to
children, and controls on harmful
alcohol use.
Promoting physical activity
23
25. NCD are emerging as one
of the major health problem
in Sudan.
Data on the disease burden
of NCDs in Sudan is scarce
and deficient .
It account for 41% of all
25
death (2005)
26. The commonest non
communicable disease in
Sudan :
Hypertension,diabetes and heart
disease represent the most common
form.
Fallow by cancer ,asthma,
glaucoma, cataract , mental health
26
renal disease, RTAs and injury
27. Khartoum stepwise survey
2006 :
Smoking was 29.1% in male.
BMI showed 29.8% of male and
31.8% of female were over weight
,11.7% and 30.7% were obese
27
36. IHD is considered as “modern “
epidemic
The highest coronary mortality is
seen in north Europe and English
spoken countries ( Finland ,Scotland ,
northern Ireland )
In Africa IHD is Less than other
Continent but its still the main cause
of death
37. .Also the main cause of death is IHD
.A study done by the WHO over
100.000 Sudanese people in 2008
showed that
. 559 males and 545 of females die due
to IHD
23% die due IHD
38. 25 % – 30 % of death due to IHD
IHD is the leading cause of the death
IHD is the leading cause of the
morbidity
39. IHD is the leading cause in
decreasing quality of the live
Approximately one million
working years wear lost because
of IHD
63. • As of 2000, nearly one billion people or ~26%
of the adult population of the world had
hypertension.] It was common in both
developed (333 million) and undeveloped
(639 million) countries.
63
64. • However rates vary markedly in different
regions with rates as low as 3.4% (men)
and 6.8% (women) in rural India and as
high as 68.9% (men) and 72.5% (women)
in Poland.
64
65. –
In 1995 it was estimated that 43 million
people in the United States had
hypertension or were taking
antihypertensive medication, almost 24% of
the adult United States population.
65
66. • The prevalence of hypertension in the United
States is increasing and reached 29% in
2004.As of 2006 hypertension affects
76 million US adults (34% of the population)
and African American adults have among the
highest rates of hypertension in the world at
44%.
66
67. – It is more common in blacks and native
Americans and less in whites and Mexican
Americans, rates increase with age, and is
greater in the southeastern United States.
Hypertension is more prevalent in men
(though menopause tends to decrease this
difference) and in those of low
socioeconomic status.
67
72. Blood pressure is usually classified based on
systolic & diastolic blood pressure .
Systolic blood pressure is blood pressure in vessels
during in heart beat
Diastolic blood pressure between heart beat
Classification are made after average a pts resting
blood pressure reading taken on two or more
office visits .
72
73. • Primary hypertension or essential means
high blood pressure with no obvious
underlying medical cause about 90-95 at
cases.
• Secondary hypertension or chronic caused
by endocrine, heart, renal diseases such
as Cushing syndrome ,acromegaly ,hyper
or hypothyroidism , hyperaldosteronism
,pherochromocytoma, aortic coarctation .
73
74. • Malignant hypertension is severe elevated
blood pressure greater than 180systolic or
diastolic 110 referred to hypertension
crises .
• Hypertension emergency previously
malignant hypertension is diagnosed when
evidence due to one or more multi organ
damage.
74
76. • These may be classified as;
• 1-non modifiable risk factors ;• Age ;blood pressure rises in both sex and rising Is
greater in those with higher initial blood pressure.
• Genetic factors ;family studies have shown that
children of 2 normotensive parents have 3%
possibility of developing. Possibility 45% in children
of two hypertensive parents.
76
77. • Modifiable risk factors:•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Obesity
Salt in take
Saturated fat
Alcohol
smoking
Physical activity
Environmental stress
Others factors such as oral contraception ,noise,
temperature
77
81. Diagnoses &investigations
• General diagnosed three separate
sphygmomanometer measurement at
least one week.
• Initial assessment of HTN pt complete
history & physical examination .
• Laboratory investigations
• ECG
• URINE ANALYSIS &BLOOD TEST
&LIPID PROFILES
81
82. Management :
The essential HTN requires pt life style
management &therapeutic intervention
Benefits of pharmacologic treatment in
people with mild & moderate hypertension
The treatment uncomplication HTN consider
mono therapy .
If BP is not control use combination
drugs:Diuretic ,ACE,ARB,CCB,BB .
82
83. Prevention of hypertension
WHO has recommended the following
approaches in the prevention of HTN:1-primaryprevention;-to reduce the
incidence of disease in a population
A- high risk strategy .
b- population strategy involve multi factorial
as nutritional .
83
84. consume the a diet rich in fruit and
vegetables & reduce saturated fat
84
85. Reduce the up take of caffeine
(coffee & tea)
reduce salt
85
94. Stroke is leading cause of death
in the sudan
• On average, someone suffers a
stroke every 40 seconds
• About 30.000 sudanese suffer a
stroke each year
• About every 4 minutes, someone
dies of a stroke
95. •
Stroke is a leading cause of
serious, long-term disability .
• About 6.4 million sudanese are
stroke survivors .
97. Ischemic Stroke (Blockage)
• Caused by a blockage in blood
vessels in brain
Hemorrhagic Stroke (Bleeding)
• Caused by burst or leaking blood
vessels in brain
98. Causes of Ischemic Stroke
Begins with the development of fatty deposits
lining the blood vessel wall
• Thrombus: Development of blood clot at the
fatty deposit
• Embolus: Traveling particle too large to pass
through a small vessel
99. Causes of Hemorrhagic
Stroke
Occurs when a weakened blood
vessel ruptures
• Aneurysms: Ballooning of a
weakened region of a blood vessel
• Arteriovenous Malformations
(AVMs): Cluster of abnormal blood
vessels
105. • Sudden weakness or numbness
of the face, arm or leg, especially
on one side of the body
• Sudden confusion, trouble
speaking or understanding
• Sudden trouble seeing in one or
both eyes
106. • Sudden trouble walking,
dizziness, loss of balance or
coordination
• Sudden, severe headaches with
no known cause (for hemorrhagic
stroke)
107. Transient Ischemic Attacks
• Warning strokes” that can happen before a
major stroke
• Occur when blood flow through a brain artery
is blocked or reduced for a short time
• Symptoms are temporary but similar to those
of a full fledged stroke
• A person who has a TIA is 9.5 times more
likely to have a stroke
122. Rheumatic heart disease is the
most serious complications of
rheumatic fever..
Acute rheumatic fever follows
cases of group A beta_hemolytic
streptococcal pharyngitis ..
122
124. Worldwide rheumatic heart disease is
a major health problem..
Chronic Rheumatic disease is estimated
to occur in 5_30 million children &
adult..
Mortality rate from this disease
remain 1_10% …
Sudan House Hold Survey reported
that the incidence has
dropped from 3/1000 in
1980 to 0.3% in 2010 ..
124
129. Endocarditis lead to a set of valve
damage .. When it begins it tend to
continuously worsen over time..
Once mitral valve is involved it
become laden with heavy deposits of
calcium which may cause stenosis
“failure to open completely”
,regurgetation “ failure to close
completely” or prolaps “stenosis &
regurgetation”..
129
130. Aortic valve also may be involved
&develop stenosis, regurgetation or
both..
130
133. It is diagnosed by Modified Jones
criteria which require the presence of 2
major or 1 major & 2 minor…
Major criteria includes:
Carditis ,Polyarthritis,
Chorea,Subcutaneous nodules &
Erythema marginatum ..
Minor criteria includes:
Fever, Arthralgia, prolonged PR interval,
increased Erythrocyte Sedimentation
rate (ESR)..
133
134. previous group A streptococcal
pharyngitis is required to diagnose
rheumatic fever with :
+ve throat culture of streptococcal
antigen.
Elevated streptococcal antibody
titer ..
134
136. Medical therapy critically attempts to
prevent rheumatic fever..
Oral Penicillin is used for pharyngitis
Allergic patients Erythromycin,
Clarithromycin & Azithromycin are
used..
When heart failure worsens after
medical therapy ,surgery to decrease
valve insufficiency may be lifesaving by
replacement..
136
137. patients with rheumatic heart
disease complication , fluids& sodium
intake should be restricted.
Potassium supplementation is
also necessary..
137
141. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease •
(COPD) is a preventable and treatable
disease state characterized by air flow
limitation that is not fully reversible.
Air flow limitation is usually progressive •
and is associated with an abnormal
inflammatory response of lungs to
noxious particles or gases,primarily
caused by cigarette smoking.
143. According to WHO estimates, 65 million
people have moderate to severe chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
More than 3 million people died of COPD in
2005, which corresponds to 5% of all deaths
globally. Most of the information available
on COPD prevalence, morbidity and
mortality comes from highincome
countries.,
144. accurate epidemiologic data on COPD are
difficult and expensive to collect. It is known
that almost 90% of COPD deaths occur in lowand middle-income countries.
At one time, COPD was more common in
men, but because of increased tobacco use
145. among women in high-income countries
and the higher risk of exposure to indoor
air pollution (such as biomass fuel used
for cooking and heating) in low-income
countries, the disease now affects men
and women almost equally.
146. In 2002 COPD was the fifth leading
cause of death. Total deaths from
COPD are projected to increase by
more than 30% in the next 10 years
unless urgent action is taken to reduce
the underlying risk factors, especially
tobacco use. Estimates show that
COPD becomes in 2030 the third
leading cause of death worldwide.
149. Risk factors for COPD include both
environmental exposure and genetic
factors
.Tabacco smoke is the major cause of COPD (80%
to 90%)
.Other environmental factors include
occupational dusts and chemical and air pollution
.The best characterized genetic factor is alpha –
antitrypsin deficiency
150. Causes of COPD in
Non-smokers
.Alpha 1 AT Deficiency
.Primary Ciliary Dysknesia
.Beta receptor heterogeneity
.Dietary deficiency: Retinoic acid, Betacarotene
.Strong family history
153. Pathophysiology
Smoking induces airway inflammation… •
TNF alpha is central to smoke induced
airway inflammation
Macrophages and PMNs recruited to •
respiratory bronchioles amplify
inflammation, burp elastase
Elastolytic damage causes loss of lung •
recoil and supporting structures
154. Diagnosis of COPD

SPIROMETRY
160. . An effective COPD management plan
includes four components:
(1)assess and monitor disease;
(2) reduce risk factor
(3) manage stable COPD;
(4) manage exacerbations
161. . The goals of effective COPD
management are to:
.Prevent disease progression
.Relieve symptoms
.Improve exercise tolerance
.Improve health status
.Prevent and treat complications
.Prevent and treat exacerbations
.Reduce mortality
163. Based on the principles of
prevention of further progress of •
disease
preservation and enhancement of •
pulmonary functional capacity
avoidance of exacerbations in order •
to improve the quality of life.
167. WHAT IS CANCER
• Cancer regard as a group of disease
characterized by
168. • The major categories of cancer are
which arise from epithelial cells
lining the internal surface of the various organ
and from the skin epithelium
,which arise from meseodermal cell
constituting the various connective tissue
, myeloma and leukemia's arising
from the cell of bone marrow and immune
systems
169. THE PROBLEM
• Every 23 Seconds Someone is Diagnosed with Cancer
• Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and
accounted for 7.6 million deaths (around 13% of all
deaths) in 2008.
• About 70% of all cancer deaths occurred in low- and
middle-income countries. Deaths from cancer
worldwide are projected to continue to rise to over
13.1 million in 2030.
• Along with cardiovascular diseases diabetes and
chronic respiratory disease acount for 60% of all deaths
globally.
170. • 70%
• Approximately 70% of cancer deaths occur in
low- and middle-income countries
175. Current Situation of Cancer in Sudan
The worldwide view of cancer is bleak but in
Sudan it is worse and more complicated
Because of late presentation, misdiagnosis,
lack of awareness & poor socioeconomic
status.
Cancer is the 3rd killer disease of the hospital
admitted patients in Sudan (2003 Report).
Cancer cases in Sudan increased by more than
ten folds from 1967 to 2005..

176. Cancer in sudan
• Cancer diseases in sudan are significantly
increasing to become one of the major ten kill
er diseases in 2002.
• The case load from radi isotope center
khartoum(RICK) increased to twenty fold in
the last 30 year
180. Cases of cancer
(1)- environmental factor:
•
environment factors the factors are
generally held responsible for 80 to
90 per cent of all human cancer.
• The major environmental factors
identified so far include:
• A- TOBACCO: tobacco in various forms
of its usage e.g (smoking, chewing) is
the major environmental cause of
cancer of the lung, larynx, mouth,
pharynx, esophagus, bladder, pancreas
and probably kidney .
181. B- Alcohol : excessive intake of
alcoholic beverages is
associated with esophageal
and liver cancer.
Some recent studies have
suggested
That beer consumption may be
associated with rectal cancer ,
is estimated that alcohol
contribute about 3% of all
cancer diatheses .
C- Dietary factor : smoked fish is
related to stomach cancer,
dilatory fibers to intestinal
cancer .
185. How can the burden of cancer be
reduced?
• Knowledge about the causes of cancer, and
interventions to prevent and manage the disease
is extensive. Cancer can be reduced and
controlled by implementing evidence-based
strategies for cancer prevention, early detection
of cancer and management of patients with
cancer. Many cancers have a high chance of cure
if detected early and treated adequately.
186. CANCER CONTROL • The who estimate that cancer acount for 7.6
million around 13% of all deaths more than 40%
of cancer cases can be prevented .
• 1/3 of cancer cases are curable if early detected.
Or
• 30% of cancers could be prevented
205. Diabetes is a group of
metabolic diseases in which a
person has high blood sugar,
either because the body
does not produce enough
insulin or because cells
do not respond to
insulin that produced..
206
207. •
The crude prevalence was 3.4%
DM . The highest crude prevalevce
northern Sudan (5.5%) lowest in
western Sudan (0.9%). New
cases (2.2%) appear
with family history
of diabetes, obesity &
advanced age ..
208
209. Type 1:
Results from the body failure to
produce insulin.
It is also known by insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus (IDDM)..
•
Type 2:
Result from insulin resistance, a
condition in which cells fail to use
insulin properly, some times combined
with an absolute insulin deficiency..
210
210. •
•
Also known as non insulindependent diabetes mellitus..
Type 3:
It is the gestational
diabetes ..
Presented by high
blood glucose levels during
pregnancy ..
211
215. dDiabetes
is charaterised by
acte
recurrent or persistent
hyperglycemia, and is diagnosed by
:
• Fasting plasma
glucose level more than
126mg/dl..
• plasma glucose
more than 2oo mg/dl
•
216
216. • Two hours after 75g oral
glucose load tolerance Test..

232. Abnormal or excessive fat accumulation
that may impair health.
.Of all countries,the United States has
the highst rate of obesity.
.About 35.7% of American adult are
obese and 17% of American children.
233. .The treating of obesity- related
diseases cost United states about 190
billion dollar.
.Africa is associated with infectious
diseases but in the past two decade
have been increase in obesity.
234. .In South Africa 64% of black
population are overweight or
obese.
.Black population think being
obese women is beautiful and
attractive.
236. 1. According to number or size of fat
cells,
2. According to fat accumulation and
distribution,
3. According to weight.
237. 1. According to number or size
of fat cells
There are three main types of obesity:
1. Hyperplastic obesity.
2. Hypertrophic obesity .
3. Hyperplastic - hypertrophic obesity.
238. 2. According to fat accumulation
and distribution
Two forms:
1. Android obesity:
It is the male pattern of obesity in which
fat deposition primarily is in the
abdomen and trunk. (Apple shape)
239. • 2. Gyenoid obesity (Pear Shaped
People)
• In those people, fat accumulates
around the hips (usually females).
240.
241. A WHR > 0,8 in women is
considered a degree of android
obesity.
242. Fat distribution
It is the ratio of waist circumference
to hip circumference
“Waist-hip ratio” (WHR) is a simple
objective method for estimating the
pattern of regional fat distribution.
252. To establish an optimal body
weight
.Weight determination
.Comparison of body
circumferences or diameter.
.Measuring Skin fold thickness.
.Comparison of body mass index
(BMI)
254. Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Is calculated by the following
equation:
[Weight in Kilograms (KG)/Height in
meter2 ]
255. •
•
•

Grade III >30
Obese
256. Learn Program for weight control
The word “LEARN” are the Initials of:
L= Life style (regular meals, eat slowly,
chewing food well, avoid junk food)
E= Exercises (regular exercise)
A= Attitude (negative attitude towards
obesity)
R= Relationship (social support to lose weight)
N= Nutrition (lowering caloric intake to less
than 800 cal/day)
276. also known as chronic renal disease, is
a progressive loss in renal function over a
period of months or years Often,
identified by a blood test for
creatinine. Higher levels of creatinine
indicate a lower glomerular filtration rate
and as a result a decreased capability of
the kidneys to excrete waste products.
277. Creatinine levels may be normal in the early
stages of CKD, and the condition is discovered if
urinalysis (testing of a urine sample) shows that the
kidney is allowing the loss of protein or red blood
cells into the urine.
279. • . The symptoms of worsening kidney function
are unspecific, and might include feeling
generally unwell and experiencing a reduced
appetite.
• CKD is initially without specific symptoms
and can only be detected as an increase in
serum creatinine or protein in the urine. As
the kidney function decreases
280. •
Blood pressure is increased due to fluid
overload and production of vasoactive
hormones created by the kidney via the reninangiotensin system (RAS ), increasing one's
risk of developing hypertension and/or
suffering from congestive heart failure
281. • Urea accumulates, leading to azotemia and
uremia (symptoms ranging from lethargy to
pericarditis and encephalopathy). Urea is excreted by
sweating and crystallizes on skin ("uremic frost").
•
282. • Fluid volume overload — symptoms may range
from mild edema to life-threatening pulmonary
edema
• Hyperphosphatemia — due to reduced phosphate
excretion
283. • Hypocalcemia — due to 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3
deficiency.
• Metabolic acidosis, due to accumulation of
sulfates, phosphates, uric acid etc.
285.
The most common causes of CKD are
diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and
glomerulonephritis. Together, these cause
approximately 75% of all adult cases.
some geographic areas have a high incidence of HIV
Historically, kidney disease has been classified
according to the part of the renal anatomy that is
involved.
286. Vascular,
includes large vessel disease such as bilateral renal
artery stenosis and small vessel disease such as
ischemic nephropathy, hemolytic-uremic syndrome
and vasculitis
287. 2/Glomerular,
comprising group and subclassified into:
oPrimary Glomerular disease:
such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and
IgA nephritis
oSecondary Glomerular disease:
such as diabetic nephropathy and lupus nephritis
288. • the kidney can also cause nephropathy
• 3/Tubulointerstitial including :
• polycystic kidney disease, drug and toxininduced chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis
and reflux nephropathy
• 4 /Obstructive such as: with bilateral kidney
stones and diseases of the prostate
• On rare cases, pin worms infecting
290. Abdominal ultrasound, in which the size of the kidneys is
measured . Kidneys with CKD are usually smaller (< 9 cm)
than normal kidneys, with notable exceptions such as in
diabetic nephropathy and polycystic kidney disease.
Serum creatinine (over several months or years) as
opposed to a sudden increase in the serum creatinine
(several days to weeks
291. . If these levels are unavailable (because
the patient has been well and has had no
blood tests)
.Additional tests may include nuclear medicine MAG3
scan to confirm blood flows and establish the differential
function between the two kidneys. DMSA scans are also
used in renal imaging
293. Control of blood pressure and treatment of the
original disease, whenever feasible, are the broad
principles of management. Generally, angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin
II receptor antagonists (ARBs) are used
Currently, several compounds are in
development for CKD. These include, but are
not limited to, bardoxolone methyl,[11]
olmesartan medoxomil, sulodexide, and
avosentan.
297. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia
that causes problems with memory,
thinking and behavior. Symptoms
usually develop slowly and get worse
over time, becoming severe enough
to interfere with daily tasks.
298
299. World wide dementia is
assuming greater social and puplic
health importance because of the
rising population of the eldery who
are most effected . AD is the
commenst type of dementia
accuoning for 50-75 %of cases .

300. • The role of diet and culture factors
warrant further study as ways of
prevention a potential epidemic as
the African population is also
undergoing demographic transition
.
301
302. • Early :
• difficulty remembering newly learned
information.
• Late:
• disorientation, mood and behavior changes;
deepening confusion more serious memory
loss and behavior changes; and difficulty
speaking, swallowing and walking.
303
304. • Detailed pictures of the brain,
such as a CT scan (computed
tomography), an MRI (magnetic
resonance imaging), or a PET scan
(positron emission tomography)
to identify
305
306. • changes in brain structure or size
indicative of Alzheimer's, or to
look for brain tumors, blood
clots, strokes, normal pressure
hydrocephalus (NPH), or other
abnormalities that might account
for Alzheimer's-like symptoms.
307
308. • Intellectual activities such as playing chess or
regular social interaction have been linked to a
reduced risk of AD in epidemiological studies,
• diet
• exercise

317. More than 1.2 million
people are killed
in Road Accidents,
worldwide , every year.
1 to 2 % of Gross National Product
Is lost in Road Accidents.
318. One child is killed in
Road Accidents,

countries (10.3 per 100 000 population)..
323. While road traffic death rates in
many high-income countries have
stabilized or declined in recent
decades, data suggest that in most
other regions of the world the global
epidemic of traffic injuries is still
increasing
324.
In 2011 WHO began work on the second such
report. The objectives of this new Global status report
are:
to indicate the gaps in road safety nationally and
thereby stimulate road safety activities
to describe the road safety situation in all Member
States and assess changes that have occurred since
the publication of the first Global status report.
325.
to serve as a baseline for monitoring activities
relating to the Decade of Action for Road Safety at
the national and international levels.
Data collection will begin in early 2011 and will be
carried out in all WHO Member States that agree to
participate, working through WHO Regional and
Country offices. The Report will be published in
2012.

The exposure – the amount of
movement or travel within the
system by different users or a given
population density.
The underlying probability of a
crash, given a particular exposure.
The probability of injury
The outcome of injury
330.
331.
Inappropriate and excessive speed
Presence of alcohol and other drugs
Fatigue
Being young and male
Being vulnerable road user in an urban or
residential area
332.
Traveling in darkness
Poor vehicle maintenance
Road design, layout and maintenance defects
Inadequate visibility due to weather conditions
Poor eyesight
334.
Drinking and driving is one of the
main causes of road crashes
worldwide. In high-income countries
about 20% of fatally injured drivers
have excess alcohol in their blood,
while in some low- and middleincome countries these figures may
be up to 69
337.
Heavy Penalty should be imposed on all
those who cross speed limits. If this is
strictly implemented, nobody will dare to
go at high speed.
Heavy penalty should be imposed for
those who cause accidents.
338.
All those who do not maintain the safe
distance for the speed should be punished.
Safety awareness should begin from
childhood, as it is difficult to impart
awareness to a grown up a human. If safety
awareness is imparted at childhood, safety
will be a habit.
339.
Refreshment parlors should be made available
at (say) every 50 / 100 k.m. on all national
highways and truck / heavy vehicle drivers
should be forced to refresh by having a face
wash or by having a cup of tea or coffee.
Advertisement boards and other items that
may obstruct visibility at junctions, curvatures
and other parts of the roads should be removed
immediately.
340.
TV and other media should be
effectively used for Public safety
awareness.
Roads should be properly maintained.
Permanent contracts / arrangements
should be in place for maintaining all
roads in good condition 24 hours a day,
365 days an year. If a gutter is repaired
in time it can save a life !!!
341.
Road Safety Day / Road Safety Week
should be observed in all Schools, every
year. Competitions on Road Safety Tips,
Slogans, Essay, Painting etc should be
conducted for various categories of
students.
