The World Health Organization (WHO) in Pakistan has begun discussions with the International Labour Organization (ILO) to strengthen efforts aimed at improving road safety in the country. The potential collaboration seeks to combine ILO’s expertise in occupational safety with WHO’s technical guidance based on the Safe System Approach.
Officials from both organizations met to explore how their respective frameworks could be aligned to address road safety challenges more effectively. The partnership is expected to contribute to safer working conditions, particularly for those vulnerable to road traffic injuries as part of their jobs.
By bringing together global health and labor standards, the initiative aims to implement cohesive strategies targeting both workplace safety and broader public health concerns. This collaboration marks a significant step towards reducing traffic-related injuries and fatalities in Pakistan, reflecting a shared commitment to enhancing road safety for all.
