WHO WE ARE
Injury Prevention Initiative for Africa (IPIFA) is an association that works to address the high burden of injuries and promote evidence-based interventions that protect Africans from injuries.

We advocate for the prevention and control of all types of injuries, both intentional and unintentional, to influence both the general population and the leadership on our continent.
