"More children in South Asia die from severe burns than from HIV/AIDS, malaria and respiratory disease" -ReSurge International. These children become disfigured, lose their ability to walk or eat and drop out of school. HOPE is providing critical burn care through surgery and therapy to children who are helpless victims.
Dear HOPE friend,
At HOPE hospital we are now having a Burn Camp providing burn surgeries to approximately 50 patients.
Thanks to your support we are able to host renamed burn surgeons from ReSurge in Coxs Bazar and provide life-changing surgeries.
Through these outreach activities, HOPE is recruiting new patients who are suffering from burn who we otherwise would not come across. As you know, working in the rural areas is difficult as distance prevents people from hearing about services that are available to them. This is compounded by the fact that many families fear the cost of medical care. It is important that HOPE staff interact with communities in a number of ways to let them know that burn care at HOPE is FREE of cost.
We look forward to these children receiving reconstructive surgery.!
