We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our esteemed Donors for helping us donate towards our burns unit for children with burns.
Whispers Magical Children Hospital and maternity has treated a very good number of patients in the past three months and 5% are babies rushed here with severe burns. Treating burns is one of the most expensive treatment in hospitals because the materials used for dressing and re- dressing are of single use like stirlized gauze and bandages. Also most of the children with burns end up going for plastic surgeries and Grafting.
Most of the children we receive for burns are rushed in by good samaritans and neighbours we admit them for almost a whole month in our hospital on a very small fee until they get better and get discharged as out patient for re-dressing every after few days. Because the burns are usually too severe and requires grafting, we usually end up preparing for grafting in another facility on whispers account because the parents most of the times cannot afford.
Whispers also helps these children and the community through impacting knowledge in order to create awareness about how to prevent injuries caused by burns. This is done especially at the Hospital where by all the caretakers are gathered in small meetings every Tuesday and Thursday of the week, to be sensitised about different conditions for baby with burns needs extra care and proper hygiene in order to prevent infections.
We thank you so much for supporting us and for always donating to this project. So many lives are being saved because of you.
We would also take this opportunity to wish you a happy 2023 a head!
