Burn injuries remain an important public health problem” – World Health Organisation
Burn injuries from fire, scalds, electrical trauma and chemicals contribute to the annual death toll, mainly amongst children and the elderly, and tens of thousands with severe burn injuries are admitted to hospitals worldwide.
Non-fatal burns for all age groups are a leading cause of morbidity including prolonged hospitalisation, permanent disfigurement, disability, and psychosocial trauma, consequences which often result in social stigma and rejection.
