Friends of Burns Centre

Friends of Burns Centre The Burns Centre is established at the Jubilee Block, Civil Hospital under the patronage of a philan

Previously the Burns Ward of the Civil Hospital Karachi was the only burns unit in Pakistan. It used to provide treatment to patients from Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and neighbouring countries. The department manages approximately 20,000 patients per year, with an average of around 500 to 600 in-patients with severe burns, annually. Unfortunately with the alarming rise in cases of burns, the Burns Ward was insufficient to fulfill all the requirements and there was the urgent need to upgrade the Burns Unit into a full-fledged Burns Care Centre and Centre of Excellence. Thus to bring hope for the burn patients, the Burns Centre has now been relocated at the more spacious heritage protected building; Jubilee Block within the Civil Hospital Karachi.

The tragic incident at Gul Plaza has left us heartbroken. Many innocent lives were martyred, and countless families are now grieving an unimaginable loss. While the flames may have been extinguished, the pain and trauma will remain for a long time.

At the Burns Centre, we witness the lifelong impact of burn injuries every single day. Survivors endure critical medical care, multiple surgeries, prolonged rehabilitation, and deep emotional scars. Behind every number is a human being, a family, and a future forever changed.

Incidents like the Gul Plaza fire are preventable. Proper fire safety systems, clear emergency exits, routine inspections, and public awareness can save lives and reduce the severity of injuries.

This tragedy reminds us that fire safety is not just about buildings. It is about protecting human lives. Let us honor the martyrs and support the survivors by committing to safer practices, stronger enforcement, and timely medical care for those affected.

Together, we can turn grief into awareness and action.
