Bangladesh is a small developing country of South Asia having big population of 180 million. Due to rapid & unplanned urbanization, dense population and ignorance it has to encounter tremendous pressure of burn incidences every year. Burns in developing countries tend to have very different demographic patterns compared with those occurring in developed countries. Well-equipped Burns Unit is necessary to provide adequate care during burn disasters.
In this paper we will showcase the severity, managing with limited resources, preparedness and the future plan. In developing countries, awareness of public towards severity and complication of burns would help in preventing such big disasters.
