Burn injuries are one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Medical experts say that especially young children are more exposed to any danger due to their limited ability to fully understand dangerous situations and their inability to react quickly. As a result, the number of deaths, illnesses, and disabilities is increasing year by year.

In 2016, there were 6,284 burns-related emergencies in Mongolia, of which 3,800 or 60.4 percent were children aged 0-5, 1,489 people were hospitalized, 1,034 or 69.4 percent, and 79 children aged 0-5 died due to burns, 52 or 65.8 percent. There are statistics that there are children aged 0-5.

Ch. Gunjidmaa, the head of the NGO "For a healthy peace", said, "Within this campaign, we intend to buy equipment to prevent infection, such as skin patching and sterilization equipment, for the burn department of the National Health and Welfare Center. 150 million MNT is required for the purchase of all equipment. Donation boxes will be sent to more than 130 institutions and enterprises. Official organizations and individuals are encouraged to actively participate in this donation campaign.

The donation campaign will continue until the 5th of next month.
