摘要

Violence related injuries contribute to a significant burden of diseases and affect the social and economic wellbeing of individuals, families and communities in Kenya. Despite this, the true magnitude of injury from interpersonal, self-directed and collective violence remains largely unknown and receives very little attention. This paper presents the situation of injuries due to violence in Kenya and attempts to estimate the magnitude of diseases related to violence as reported in the health care systems annually. Data for this study was collected from various sources. All recorded injuries reported in randomly selected hospitals in 2007 were collected using a data collection tool adopted from the WHO and CDC Manual for the estimation of the economic cost of violence. To establish the distribution and characteristics of the cases, prospective data was collected at Kenyatta National Hospital and Machakos District Hospital where 200 cases were studied between June and September 2008. Further data was derived from the health records and information systems reports. It was estimated that there were 218,592 injuries due to violence that received hospital treatment and/or resulted in deaths in Kenya during 2007. Of these, 10,007 (4.6%) were fatal; 45,889 (21%) were severe and required hospital admission, and 162,696 (74.4%) were slight, requiring emergency department treatment only. 63% of injuries involved men while 37% involve women. By systematically estimating the incidence of violence related injuries in Kenya, this paper aims at highlighting the magnitude of this problem and advocates for urgent action to address it.
