The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) assisted over 3,500 British nationals who were hospitalised around the world in 2018. The FCO does not collect data on the cause of their hospitalisation.
In 2018, the FCO were informed of the deaths of 83 British nationals involved in road traffic accidents overseas. This is broken down by country in the attached table.
