Recent advancements in the field of burn care have resulted in improvement of overall holistic care of which ‘out-of-burns unit’ management is a significant cornerstone commencing in the pre-hospital interventions with a continuity in different stages of burn rehabilitation. Challenges are multifactorial and related to resources, competence, leadership, teamwork and management. Efficient burn rehabilitation with multidisciplinary care can be achieved with the treatments outside the burns unit in the critical journey of transition from the stage of ‘burn victim’ to ‘burn survivor’. Burn care providers should implement quality-guaranteed and cost-effective protocols and programs to combat such challenges globally, especially in the low and middle income countries to achieve the best outcome.
