Assessing Reported Incidence of Vehicle Accident in the Pentecost Hospital in the Madina District Assembly.

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

The sole prerogative of most governments in sub-Sahara Africa is to improve their economies and become examples of efficient, economic and social management implementers on the continent. Since transportation is an important component of the much desired economic development contributor, African governments have resorted to improving road networks in their countries. Politicians, engineers, planners and policy makers have major task of formulating and implementing the best transport plan that would expand their regions, urban and rural areas. Good transport system at lower cost has the capacity to reduce travel time which is a very good factor in improving the quality of business in a given area. Efficient transport improves the accessibility of an area. Accessibility plays an important role by offering more customers through an expanded market area, by making distribution more efficient (in terms of cost and time), or making it easy for more people to reach workplaces (Jean- Paul & & Slack, 2007). This has the ultimate potential of improving the productivity of the country or city and thus the overall economy.
