02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
To provide material support and support in the form of expertise to the Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH), Blantyre, Malawi. Also to provide this support to the care of people with burn injuries more widely within Malawi. This takes the form of provision of funds to support the burns and plastics unit directly, and provision of funding and training expertise for training of staff in that unit, and in the wider health service in Malawi. The primary goal is to improve care for people with burns in Malawi and secondarily to improve the care of people requiring reconstructive surgery in Malawi (Because these two goals share common mechanisms of support. One facilitates the other because many of the staff whose skills are being enhanced treat both groups of patients, and many burn-injured people require reconstructive surgery).
