The number one killer of kids is preventable injuries. Children’s Hospital is working hard to keep children safe

A leading cause of death

From shaken baby syndrome to ATV collisions, preventable injuries are the number one killer of kids today. Injuries account for more deaths in children and youth than all other causes of death combined. More than 600 paediatric injury admissions and over 12,000 injury-related Emergency Department visits are made to Children’s Hospital each year.

Focus on prevention and awareness

As a trauma centre, Children’s Hospital is the most effective place to carry out injury prevention programs and deliver education. This focus on prevention, awareness and education takes a proactive approach to injuries before they occur.
