| − | <p>All over the globe, burns are a huge problem in the health sector. Mexico is a country where around 120
| |
| − | thousand people per year suffer from burn accidents recorded in the public health sector. However, in
| |
| − | this country, there isn't the required infrastructure needed to treat third-degree burns, which causes
| |
| − | a high mortality rate.

| |

| |

| |
