Resume.To study the level of injuries and mortality from road traffic accidents in the Republic of Tajikistan.

Goal. .

Material and methods. Clinical Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Republic of Tajikistan and analytical reports on road accidents from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan for 2022 and 2023.

Results. Data analysis revealed that, according to the analytical report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan, there were 1111 road accidents in the country in 2023, which is 1.4% (15) more than in 2022. When analyzing road accidents by city and region of the Republic of Tajikistan, the highest number was found in Khatlon Region: 335 in 2023 compared to 284 in 2022. That is, in 2023, the number of road accidents in this region increased by 18.0% (51). Over the past 10 years, road accidents decreased from 1514 in 2014 to 1111 cases in 2023, injuries from 1746 to 1179, while mortality, on the contrary, increased from 446 in 2014 to 519 cases in 2023.

Conclusion. The high mortality rate (519) from a relatively low number of road accidents (1111) in 2023, compared to 446 deaths from 1514 road accidents in 2014, indicates the seriousness of the problem in the medical and social sphere. It is necessary to strengthen existing emergency services on weekends and during rush hours, as these are the times when most road accidents occur. The distribution and salaries of anesthesiologists/resuscitators, surgeons, neurosurgeons, and traumatologists/orthopedists in the emergency surgery service should be reviewed.
