Burn Scar Repair

Because open fires are a part of life in the countries where CURE serves, second- or third-degree burns are devastatingly common. When these injuries go untreated, they form thick scars that tighten and contract, limiting mobility and making it hard for a child to use the affected limb. Surgery releases the burn scars and restores function to a child's hands, arms, and/or legs—giving them the chance to thrive.
