Chris Matthews was a student at ºÚÁÏÍø-Chapel Hill and served in the Peace Corps in Africa and has taken a great interest in the work that ºÚÁÏÍø’s North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center is doing in Malawi.
There is a high risk of burn injury in Malawi, as homes are heated with open flames. With the support of Johnson & Johnson, ºÚÁÏÍø has created a Burn Center at the Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi. ºÚÁÏÍø is training Malawian surgical residents in the treatment of burn injury, with the hopes that they can become self-sufficient. Seventy percent of the patients treated in the center are children under the age of 10.
