REGIONAL HUBS
South Asia
Nepal
Limited funding and a lengthy period of negotiation with Nepal's Ministry of Health & Population {MoHPI resulted
in a quiet year for the planned national burn care and prevention programme, initially targeting Bagmati province.
Highlights of the programme during this period are..
The delivery of two Basic Bum Care (BBC) and one Essential Bum Care (EBC) training courses in late
20231early 2024. utilising experienced local faculty-
Reaching agreement with the MOHP'S National Heallh Training Centre (NHTC) to collaborate on a
series of BBC and EBC training courses, leading to accreditation by the NHTC and the development of
national burn care guidelines by earfy 2025.
Generating new funding forthe programme, with ongoing fundraising activities to securethe programme
into 2025 and beyond.
Delivery of training in nutrition resulting in a new dietetics department at Sushma Koirala Memorial
Hospital {SKMH).
Spearheading the wider dissemination of Interbums training regionally. initially in Madhya Pradesh,
India (see below).
India
A new burn care and prevention programme, funded by the Choithram Intemational Foundation, started in
November 2023. Two trainers recruited in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, received training of trainers from a team
from Interburns regional hub in Nepal: training materials were translated into Hindi and adapted to the local
context, culture and bum aetiology.
The trainers provided training in Community Bum Prevention ICBP) for patients waiting to be discharged from
Netralaya Hospital, Indore- 2,317 were trained within the first few months. Trainers attended 41 health camps
with the hospital's outreach eye team to introduce the programme and collect local information on the frequency
and causes of burns,. this information was incorporated into the localised burn care training materials. An Mou
with the National Health Mission in Madhya Pradesh is under discussion to enable training at all tiers of the
health system in 15 districts over an eighteen month period.
Interburns began collaborating with clinicians from Netralaya Hospital to develop material for eye burns for
inclusion into training programmes and research outputs. During this period eye bum material was developed
for inclusion into BBC and CBP training, with plans for similar material development for EBC and ABC modules.
A one month fellowship in bums nutrition was carried out by a nutritionist from Ganga Hospitsl, Coimbatore,
India, at the Interbums Training Center (ITC), Choithram Hospital and Research Center, Indore.

delivery of BBC and EBC with Training of Trainers and a DAT assessment at Bugando Medical Centre,
Mwanza, and ABC{Nursing) held at Muhimbili Hospital. Dar es Salaam in early 2023.
Quality Improvement (QI) in bum care underpins all of Interburns work. The focus on QI was further
strengthened during ABC{Nursing) Tanzania with the continuation, post training, of supervised QI projects
throughout 2023. Following a period of online support. a team of four nurse mentors from France, Malawi and
Ghana visited the country in January 2024 to deliver face to face training, assessment, and presentation of the
projects to staff and management. The three supervised projects were:

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model,
tsngible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any aGcumulated
impaimient losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working
condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value
over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short
maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisttion or opening of the deposit or similar
account.
2.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a resull of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the
amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are reGognised at the amount that the Charity anticipales it will pay to settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the time value of money is material. the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.11 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assels and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basiG financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and
subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for
particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial
slalements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by
donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and
administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted
fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Accounting policies (continued)
2.13 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitrfs accounting policies, the trustees are required lo make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities thal are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical
experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the
revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision
affects both current and future periixls.
2.14 Forelgn exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds steding are recorded at the rates of exchange
prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date. monetary assets and liabilities
Ihat are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated al the rates prevailing on the reporb'ng
end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless
those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entillement is recognised in the period in which the employee's
setvices are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably
