Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Lack of legislation and stable funding under a dedicated lead agency is a major deterrent to development and sustainment of trauma systems in most Asian countries
- Advocating trauma and critical care as a specialty is a key event in system establishment
- Trauma specialised training is challenging in low-resource settings; can be circumvented by regional cooperation creating trauma academic centres of excellence
- Quality improvement is integral to system maturity, but acquisition and analysis of quality data through trauma registries is least developed in Asia
