The National Burns Centre (NBC) at Airoli recently inaugurated a creche, a play area for kids, and a gymnasium. The medical facility is dedicated to burns research, treating patients with burns and enabling both adults and kids to return to normal and lead happy, functioning lives.

The creche has been started for children of the Navi Mumbai hospital staffers. The play area for children, prominently featured in a report in this paper, is for staffers’ kids and children burn survivors being treated at the hospital. The gymnasium is for the workforce at the hospital. While all three spaces were inaugurated, one was repeatedly reminded about the mental health aspect in healthcare.
