Home Based Care
Home based care is essential as the process of burns treatment is a long one. Our trained staff makes home visits to change the dressings of burn victims. This care cannot be provided by hospitals on a regular basis as there is lack of bed facilities and also involves travel for the burn victims. It also helps them to save traveling costs as they cannot afford to travel in auto or car as their condition demands it.
The home based care also helps burn victims from poor families to save on considerable time, money and hardships. The care givers did not have to take time off from work, thus preventing themselves from losing their daily earnings as many were daily labourers. Otherwise, given the distance from their residence to hospital, which may or may not have proper public transport connectivity, they may have had to spend anywhere from Rs. 500/- onwards for going for hospital based dressings. They also had to be in the hospital at a stipulated time, whereas home based care is done as per timing convenient to the burn victim.
