N2  - Trauma is a serious threat in developing countries. Prevention efforts, which have been so effective in other countries in controlling the incidence of injuries, are almost nonexistent. The lifestyles make the population prone to injury and tribal cultures may practice rituals that create personal injury. Developing nations lack adequate health care services for a large section of the population. A trauma nurse who visited Papua New Guinea describes her experience with living and working in various health care settings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
