11. Action Plans
• An exclusive person needs to be given the responsibility of taking
care of Burden and trauma victims. His/her should be trained in
counseling; rehabilitation; and trauma care areas
• Community efforts have to be streamlined. Community
rehabilitation centers have to be established
• Funds have to be provided to work in this area. The funds may be
utilized to have a study and survey of such trauma cases, prepare an
action plan based on the results and further work that needs to be
undertaken. An International support is needed
• Safe living through safe community intervention should be worked
out on macro level; and establishment of Health Programs and
after-care services
