Burns: ‘the forgotten global public health crisis’ (WHO).
In low income countries and conflict settings, burn patients often receive delayed, inadequate or inappropriate treatment leading to unnecessary suffering, disfigurement, disability or death.
Interburn’s comprehensive, integrated approach to improving the quality of burn care has been implemented in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
From community prevention and first aid, to training at intermediate and advanced levels, Interburns works to ensure that all burn patients have access to good quality care, despite limited resources.
