New Delhi: The 19th Congress of the International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI) has brought together experts from all around the world to deliberate on burns treatment, management and rehabilitation in the national capital.

This is the second time that an international conference of this scale is taking place in India, and on the topic most relevant for the  country. Over 250 cases of burns were reported by various hospitals in Delhi this Diwali despite the ban on bursting crackers. The congress is aimed to promote the concept of one world and one standard of care for patients suffering from thermal injury. It will also hold training sessions on caring for the patient in resource-restricted countries on Friday.

“It is our privilege to host our congress in India. ISBI is looking forward to share its learnings from around the globe as well as learn from experts here,” ISBI president Dr William G Cioffi said.
