Globally, falls caused an estimated 684 277 deaths in 2019 and 36· 4 million disability-adjusted life-years. 1, 2 Although most of these falls occur in older adults, they are also a leading cause of injury for children and adolescents (age< 19 years), accounting for more than 100 children dying every day or 38 000 every year. 1 Additionally, falls account for up to 56% of all injuryrelated hospital visits by children in low-resource settings and are a top ten cause of years lived with a disability for those aged 5–19 years. 1, 3 The recently published Step Safely technical package by WHO provides evidence for action at primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention levels on this important child and adolescent public health issue. 4 However, most of the evidence is from high-income countries and is not easily generalised to low-income settings where the greatest burden of childhood falls occurs. All children fall. It is a part of their development, but not all falls should result in serious injury. Every child has the right to a healthy and safe environment, which includes settings that reduce risks of injurious falls. It is important to understand the context in which these falls occur in order to optimise prevention. In Nepal, for example, most children live in rural communities where typical homes are two-storey wooden buildings with an open external staircase leading to a balcony running around the building. Play areas are informal, often on steeply terraced land, and many children will help on family smallholdings, which includes climbing trees to cut leaves to feed livestock. Falls from trees are the leading cause of spinal injury in Nepal. 5In a population-based injury surveillance study in Fiji, falls accounted for 48% of injury admissions in childhood, with fractures and head trauma being among the commonest types of injury. 6 Some of the strongest advocates for fall prevention interventions in this context were clinicians concerned about the unmet needs in health and trauma care, rehabilitation, education, disability, and social support for children surviving these injuries.
