A web-based trauma registry improved data collection and identified gaps in trauma care at a Tanzanian hospital, noting that 59% of injuries stemmed from road traffic collisions. Non-ambulance patient arrivals were linked to higher severity, mortality, and delays. The platform decreased arrival-to-care time to 29.89 minutes, prompting enhanced clinician training. Positive feedback supports expanding the initiative to more hospitals, but sustained success relies on ongoing training, health ministry involvement, and global partnerships.
