World Trauma Day (WTD), observed globally on 17 October, was first inaugurated in Singapore by CRTS in 2021. Since then, we have worked closely with hospitals, institutions and community partners to organise series of events aimed at raising awareness about trauma-related injuries and equipping the public with essential knowledge and skills.
To commemorate WTD this year, we set up an injury prevention engagement booth at the SG60 National Celebration of Seniors (NCOS) event organized by AIC on 4 October 2025 at Our Tampines Hub.
In total, we engaged more than 1,000 active seniors and members of public through various interactive games and activties.
