Introduction: Trauma is a major force of global mortality and morbidity and a preventable health and economic burden. Low and middle-income countries lack trauma registries despite accounting for 90% of trauma-related deaths, and with under-representation in global studies, they require further characterization. In 2023, Palestine faced major health challenges related to trauma, emphasizing the need for a trauma registry, particularly due to its global impact in conflict zones. This study marks the establishment of Palestine’s first trauma registry.
