We prove that the integral of scalar curvature over a Riemannian manifold is uniformly bounded below in terms of its dimension, upper bounds on sectional curvature and volume, and a lower bound on injectivity radius. This is an analogue of an earlier result of Petrunin for Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounded below.
