Description
Burns patient. Image 5 of 5. Young child patient in a remote rural region of Kenya. The child has a severely burnt foot (left). The burn was not treated, so complications developed and the child was unable to walk on the foot. The foot cannot be operated on until the child stops growing, so the child was provided with this cushioning support for the foot to enable the child to walk again. The support will have to be changed as the child grows. 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.
