The epidemiological profile is an essential prerequisite for analysing the public health needs in the country and to enable efficient programme planning and management and this in a country like ours is a boon to have. Mortality is an important indicator of the magnitude of a health problem, along with that; there are several thousand injury survivors who are left with permanent disability. These nonfatal outcomes must also be measured in order to describe accurately the burden of disease due to injury. Disability is defined as an existing difficulty in performing one or more activities with respect to the subject’s age, gender and social role. The basic components of daily living are self–care, social relations and economic activity. Permanent disability such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, loss of eyesight or brain damage can deprive of an individual’s ability to do these basic needs. Disabilities force the individuals to depend on others for routine physical care and economical support.
