INTRODUCTION/RATIONALE
 2009 (WHO): road crashes, suicide and violence were among
the main causes of death worldwide for people aged 10 to 24
years
 2011 (WHO): injuries were responsible for 9% of all deaths
with road traffic injuries claiming nearly 3,500 lives each day,
making it among the 10 leading causes of mortality globally.
 In 2011, the Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) developed
the plan of action geared towards increasing the priority of
evidence-informed violence prevention, building the
foundations for violence prevention, and implementing violence
prevention strategies.
 United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2011–2020 to
be a Decade of Action for Road Safety to stabilize and
reduce global road traffic fatalities by 2020.
 2010 (The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk
Factors Study): interpersonal violence, road injury,
drowning, and self-harm (suicide) ranked 6th, 11th, 17th,
and 27th, respectively, on the leading causes of premature
deaths in the Philippines
 2005-2010: Accidents are the fifth leading cause of mortality
for this period as reported in the Philippine Health Statistics
 2010-2012 (The Online National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System [ONEISS]):
o Transport or vehicular crash was the leading cause of
unintentional injuries
o Interpersonal violence (mauling/assault, contact with
sharp objects, and gunshot) was the leading cause of
intentional injuries.
 DOH:
o Focal agency with respect to violence and injury
prevention
o Shall design, coordinate and integrate plans, projects and
activities of various stakeholders into a more effective and
efficient system geared towards violence and injury
prevention
 The Violence and Injury Prevention Program
o Has been institutionalized as one of the programs of the
Disease Prevention and Control Bureau (DPCB) formerly,
National Center for Disease Prevention and Control
(NCDPC).
o The program aims to reduce mortality, morbidity and
disability due to the following intentional and unintentional
injuries:
1. Road traffic injuries
2. Interpersonal violence including bullying, torture and
violence against women and children
3. Falls
4. Occupational and work-related injuries
5. Burns and fireworks-related injuries
6. Drowning
7. Poisoning and drug toxicity
8. Animal bites and stings
9. Self-harm / suicide
10. Sports and recreational injuries
 The program is in coordination with the following: Child Injury
Prevention Program, Violence Against Women and
Children Program and other DOH Offices
 In the first quarter of 2013, the Essential Non-Communicable
Disease Division (ENCDD), together with the Development
Academy of the Philippines (DAP), developed the 5-year
Strategic Plan for 2013-2017.

Violence and Injury Prevention Program
October 16, 2015
 With the increasing mortality, morbidity, and disability due to
violence and injury, there is a need to complement and
enhance the existing policy on Violence and Injury Prevention
in order to rise to the challenge of addressing this rapidly
growing public health concern. It is also imperative to develop
an action framework that serves as the strategic road map
towards the prevention of violence and injuries.
VIOLENCE AND INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM (VIPP)
The objectives of the VIP Program are the following:
1. To reduce the number of deaths from violence and injuries
2. To reduce disability caused by violence and injury
3. To enhance capacity of CHDs and other stakeholders in the
prevention of violence and injury
4. To develop & implement evidence-based policies, standards
and guidelines in the prevention of violence and injury
5. To strengthen collaboration with stakeholders in the
prevention violence and injury
6. To ensure reliable, timely, and complete data and
researches on violence and injury
7. To advocate for alternative health financing schemes for
trauma care
VIP PROGRAM STRATEGIES
A. Evidence-Based Research and Electronic Surveillance
System
o Multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral interventions shall be
developed based on evidence-based research. DOH shall
establish and institutionalize a system of data reporting,
recording, collection, management and analysis at the
national, regional, and local levels. An information system,
that is, Online National Electronic Injury Surveillance System
(ONEISS) and Philippine Network for Injury Data
Management System (PNIDMS), shall be fully
operationalized for this purpose.
B. Networking and Alliance Building
o DOH shall promote partnerships with and among
stakeholders to build alliance and networks and to generate
resources for activities related to VIPP.
C. Capacity Building and Community Participation
o DOH shall develop and enhance the violence and injury
prevention capabilities of a wide range of sectors and
stakeholders at the national, regional and local levels.
D. Advocacy
o DOH shall advocate to LGUs for ordinance development and
lobby to Congress for enactment of laws.
E. Equitable Health Financing Package
o DOH, in collaboration with various stakeholders, shall
advocate to health financing institutions and financial
intermediaries, i.e. the Philippine Health Insurance
Corporation (PHIC) and insurance companies, the
development and implementation of policies that would be
beneficial for the victims of all forms of violence and injury.
F. Service Delivery
o In collaboration with stakeholders, DOH shall institutionalize
systems and procedures for the integration and provision of
services at the community level. In collaboration with various
stakeholders, DOH shall undertake advocacy, information
and education, political support, and multi-sectoral action on
violence and injury prevention. Appropriate interventions at
all levels of prevention shall be crucially provided.
G. Six (6) E’s.
o Strategies shall utilize the concept of the six E’s in the
prevention of violence and injuries. The six E’s are the
following:
1. Education entails wide dissemination of information and
communication related to violence and injury prevention
2. Enactment / Enforcement of laws and policies related
to violence and injury prevention
3. Empowerment of all stakeholders in the
implementation of VIPP. This also covers the provision of
Page 1 of 8
 Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP)
psychosocial support to the victims of violence and injury
to help them recover from the psychological trauma
4. Engineering control provides the most effective way of
reducing the cause and impact of violence and injuries.
This involves the improvement of facilities and
infrastructures to promote safe environments
5. Emergency Medical Services prior to hospital care. This
is vital in providing pre-hospital trauma life support to the
injured on site at the soonest possible time so as to
prevent needless mortality or long-term morbidity or
permanent disability
6. Engagement in surveillance and research to promote
evidence-based, substantial, scientific, and systematic
approach to VIPP.
H. Monitoring and Evaluation
o DOH, together with various stakeholders, shall identify
indicators, targets and milestones for program monitoring
and evaluation purposes. There shall be a regular audit and
feedback mechanism of all VIPP-related strategies and
activities.
 According to the factsheet of the Online National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System from January-March 2015
o NCR has the most number of reporting facilities per square
area (Relative to actual area covered by each region) while
region 4A has the least  alarming since there is a need
for more reporting facilities in other provinces, especially
the far-flung and hard to reach areas.
o Majority of the injury cases have been reported by the
family member of the injured patient which accounts for
51%. Around 46.4% of the reported cases were
reported by the injured persons themselves. This
number is lower than the previous group because other
injuries are too severe and leave the patient debilitated
which then entail the family members to be the ones to
report the injury case.
o Males (69.5%) are more exposed to injury than females
(30.5%) from birth up to the age of 65. This may be
because males are generally more active in work and play
than females which make them more prone to injury.
o However, for the age group above 65 years old, more
females were injured than males.
Figure. Injury cases reported by Age from Jan to March 2015
 Majority of the total reported injury cases (56%) came from
the age group of 20 – 59. This could be because this is the
age group that are mainly engaged in occupational hazards and
vehicular accidents, being active in their everyday life.
 Age group of 0 – 19 years old accounted for 36.7% of the
total reported injury cases which could imply that there are a
number of accidents involving younger children. These may
include cases of child abuse, unsuspecting vehicular accidents
or even bullying.
 January had the highest reported number of injury cases
(37.4%) of all cases mainly because of fireworks-related cases.
 When it comes to time of occurrence, it varies with the external
cause of injury. The most common causes of reported injuries
and their time of occurrence are the ff:
o Fall-related injuries  8:00–11:59 am
o Assault and sharp object-related: 8:00–11:59 pm
(could be attributed to more violence occurring during
night time)
o Vehicular accident-related injuries: 8:00–11:59 am &
4:00–7:59 pm, attributed to the rush hours during the

time for going to school/work and the time going home
from school / work respectively
Figure. Injury cases reported by External Causes of Injury from
January to March 2015
 Pre-admission data
o 83% of all reported cases were injury cases brought to
the ER; 16.7% were Out-Patient cases; only 0.3% were
in-patient cases.
o The most commonly sustained injuries were open-
wounds, abrasions and contusions.
o Since majority of the cases were accidental in nature, most
of the reported cases occurred on the road at 42.4%
while 29.1% occurred at their homes.
 Hospital data
o Transport and vehicular crash-related cases:
consistently the most common cause of injury.
o Majority of these cases that were brought to the ER were
not fatal and improved after treatment and were
discharged (82.2%).
Figure. Injury cases reported by Type of Injury
from January to March 2015
 Vehicular accidents
o More males (71.9%) were involved than females
(28.1%), disproving the myth that men are better drivers
than women. This is could be attributed to the drink-and-
drive attitude of men and their generally more aggressive
driving.
o Majority of the reported vehicular related injuries were
from the 20–59 age group (52.9%) mainly because
they are the ones who drive.
o As for the 0 – 19 age group, they account for 28.5%
and could be attributed to their careless behavior as
pedestrians, especially younger children.
o Alcohol intoxication: major cause of risk factor for
vehicular accident-related injuries
o Motorcycles: The most common mode of transport in
these injuries (56%)
o Alarmingly, only 2.5% of these cases were wearing
protective helmet. Additionally, only 4.4% of the
reported car accident cases were wearing seatbelt at the
time of incident. This implies the need for proper education
of motorists and drivers alike for the importance of
precautionary measures while driving.
