Capacity building for burn rehabilitation professionals in Korea

Pressure garments are an integral part of the rehabilitation process after burns. These garments help prevent hypertrophic scar growth, which otherwise can lead to contracture, deformity and loss of function. Hallym Burn Foundation in South Korea helps close to 1,000 people with burn injuries every year, but the lack of suitable pressure garments is an issue that the foundation staff have always wanted to address. In 2022, Sunshine Foundation signed a cooperation agreement with Hallym Foundation to conduct a four-year training program on pressure garment production.

Pressure garment fabrication

Project period: From 2022 to 2025

Over four years, Sunshine will support Hallym Burn Foundation as they embark on the journey towards setting up a service system to provide Korean burn survivors with custom-made, high quality and comfortable pressure garments. Starting from scratch, this project will not only provide technical training, but also assistance for the development of their entire service model.
