UP: Rani Laxmibai Hospital gets ward for burn injury patients

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has opened a third facility in the state at Rani Laxmibai Hospital to treat burn-injury patients. The facility is designed to provide dedicated quality care to the affected patients.

The six-bed burn ward has already operational and injured patients are getting admitted for treatment. 

The state government decided to build another burn ward facility to ease the increasing pressure on the other two facilities at King George’s Medical University and Civil Hospital. However, there is still a need to make more burn wards due to the rising patient load.

Burn injuries are under-appreciated injuries that are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Burn injuries, particularly severe burns, are accompanied by an immune and inflammatory response, metabolic changes and distributive shock that can be challenging to manage and can lead to multiple organ failure. Therefore, more wards are required to be set up at the state to minimise the risk by providing immediate treatment in emergencies.
