Description
Burns patient. Image 2 of 5. Young child patient (centre) with relatives, in a remote rural region of Kenya. The child has a severely burnt foot (left). The burn was not treated, so complications developed and now the child cannot walk on the foot. The foot cannot be operated on until the child stops growing, so the child was later provided with a cushioning support for the foot to enable the child to walk again. Photographed as part of work by the UK charity MEAK (Medical and Educational Aid to Kenya). For a sequence of images of this patient before and after treatment, see M935/250-254.
