At the end of November, Care4Burn traveled to Tanzania and Kilimanjaro Hospital (KCMC) in Moshi. Together with a talented team from Addis Ababa, we spent a productive and meaningful week in the hospital’s burn department. Meeting the staff and patients made a big impression and gave a lot of food for thought.

In addition to donating surgical equipment, Care4Burn facilitated several educational sessions and on-site training, as well as interviewing both staff and patients, in order to further develop our patient sponsorship program.

With the good help of our colleagues in Addis Ababa, we started up the ‘Banana Milk Diet’ in the department, a diet which strengthens both the patients’ nutritional status and the healing process.

Burn patients deserve our attention.

With this goal in mind, we are, with great help from the talented photographer/short film maker George M Doumani, making a documentary about burn injuries in Tanzania, the important work being done at KCMC and the history of Care4Burn.

Together we can make a difference.
