Description
Burn and Plastic Surgery is a super specialized branch of Surgery. Posts of this department in Mymensingh Medical College were created on 2011. Department started running from 28/02/2015 as specialized doctors were posted. Initially hospital services of the department were combined with Surgery Department. In that time gradually hospital structure was arranged by 10 bedded male ward (In old ICU of MMCH in 2nd floor of OT complex during National crisis of Hartal victim of Burn), 4 bed in female ward (Pocket room in Female Surgery Ward - 11) and there was no specific child bed but child patients were managed in Ward no 26 (Paediatrics Surgery Ward). But from December 2016 the Department started to run independently as a separate Ward was allocated in the new building of MMCH with a separate, dedicated operation theatre. Although the Government allocated bed was 20, we are currently running with 32 beds, of which 12 are male, 10 female and 10 children. We have an average patient load of 70-80/day. The Ward no. is 34 and is located on the 2nd floor of the new building (OPD building). Majority of the patients that we deal are Burn patients. Other patients are referred from different disciplines e.g. Surgery, Paediatrics Surgery, Orthopedics, Eye, ENT, Gynaecology, Neuromedicine etc.
