The organization of trauma care within the country is essential. Hospitals able to provide optimal care for the injured patient must be selected. Every hospital have to evaluate its capabilities and resources and its places in the emergency medical services system. The number of hospitals defined to take care of severely injured patient should be defined by many factors: geography and population density, capable personnel immediately available priority of access to sophisticated laboratory and radiologic services, operative rooms and intensive care units. University Hospitals should have a trauma service connected with the department of surgery to take care of severely injured patients. General hospitals are an important resource to take care of others trauma patients.
