They constitute a serious national public health problem. Material and Methods: During an analytical cross-sectional study in the surgical departments of hospitals in the city of Kinshasa in 2017, we took a non-probabilistic quota sample of 120 units from the 15 accident patients present in eight hospital institutions in Kinshasa. Results: RTA victims were motorcyclists, passengers and pedestrians. The median direct cost was $1613.80. This cost varied according to the type of associated complications. In comparison, the median indirect cost was $238.88. It also varies according to the associated complications. Finally, the median total cost is $1842.53, which also varies according to the type of associated complications. Conclusion: The cost of motorcycle accidents is unaffordable for most Kinshasa families living below the poverty line. A state subsidy to public hospitals would help to provide better care for accident victims.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9786206259268\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9786206259268","offer_id":46915744203077,"sku":"9786206259268","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5704a755-221c-4f2c-89e6-1e59e04974b8.png?v=1759295498","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/cost-of-treatment-for-motorcycle-related-injuries-von-anicet-bessa","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
