DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRIC BURNS AND PLASTIC SURGERY

A Separate department of Burns and plastic surgery was started in the year 1992 with a six bedded exclusive burns ward where children with both acute and chronic burn injuries are received in the ward and treated in a state-of-the-art fashion.

Our low mortality rate (around 24%) speaks of the excellent care given. This was donated by the Rotary International of Canada and established by Rotary Central of Chennai. The President of India, Mr. R. Venkataraman, inaugurated the ward.

The Plastic and Reconstruction surgery department deals with congenital malformations, trauma, facio-maxillary injuries and other defects.
