Burn Awareness Guide

Most burns in children are due to hot water. These burns usually occur when bathing, cooking, or playing in the home.
 

Some burns may be due to fire, chemical exposure, electric shock or contact with hot objects. Due to their unique physiology (including thinner skin), burns in children can be extremely dangerous and have severe debilitating effects. Critically, paediatric burns are largely preventable..
