Welcome to the website of the
Nigerian Burn Injuries Society
(NBIS)
About Us
The Nigerian Burn Injuries Society was established on the 4th of April 2003.
It resulted from a resolution that was passed at a meeting of the Nigerian Association of Plastic surgeons and the defunct Nigerian Burn Association. This resulted in the formal dissolution of the Nigerian Burn Association an association that was set up about 1986. The former association was restricted mainly to medical and allied medical personnel that are concerned with care of the burn patient.

What we do
Education
We educate the public on burn prevention, burn injuries and first aid treatment of burns. To this end, we organize workshops, seminars, lectures, drills and other educational activities in schools, markets, places of worship and other public places. Our fliers, enablers, cartoons and tools have served as veritable tools of education over the years.
Training
We train and retrain our members and the public on practicalities of burn prevention, control of small household fires, actions to take in case of fire incidence. Our fire fighter members have been a great resource to our training programmes through fire drills and demonstrations. We also partner with international organization in emergency and continued treatment of severe burns.
Advocacy
Our society reaches out to government and agents of government, non-governmental organizations, corporations and other stakeholders by providing data and other epidemiological resources useful in burn prevention and treatment. We also provide information and personnel on demand in order to manage burn disasters.
