Stop Burns Injury Program
Shriners Children’s™ is noted worldwide as a leader in pediatric burn care. Since opening our first pediatric burns hospitals in the 1960s, our healthcare system has been at the forefront of innovative programs and treatment techniques that have both dramatically improved the survival rate for children with severe burns and enhanced their quality of life.
The Khartum Shrine Burns Unit makes presentations to all ages of society, Chambers of Commerce, service clubs and any groups which may be interested in learning what the Shrine Burns Unit is about.
For children (kindergarten to grade six) we introduce the Shriners, to inform them of our functions and goals. We also make them aware of our 22 Shrine Hospitals spread across North America.
We then do a little preamble on a 15 minute Disney production, with cartoon characters, on how to burn proof your home. We then show the films after which we ask questions about the films content.
We cover “Stop, Drop and Roll” which is a program where children learn what to do in case any part of their clothes or someone else’s clothes catch on fire.
We then conclude the program and distribute handouts.
