Region's First Burns Centre
Established in 2006 as Punjab's first dedicated burns department, with nearly two decades of specialised experience.
Institute of Excellence
Burn Treatment
Survival. Healing. Function. Appearance. In That Order — and All of Them.
Established in 2006, Amandeep Hospitals became the first in the region to offer a dedicated burns care centre — addressing a critical gap in Punjab, where no exclusive burns department existed at the time.
The centre provides complete intensive care, state-of-the-art surgical facilities and holistic treatment under one roof, with internationally acclaimed plastic surgeons committed to outcomes that restore not just skin, but function, appearance and life.
Our focus is simple:
To save life in the first hours, heal the wound in the following weeks and restore function and appearance in the months that follow.

About the Institute
Expert Care for Every Degree of Burn
Burn injuries range from minor wounds that heal with minimal intervention to severe, life-changing injuries that affect both appearance and function.
Burns are caused by flame, scalds from hot liquids, electricity, inhalation, acid and other corrosive substances, and friction. Treatment depends on the type, extent and depth of the burn, as well as the patient's age and underlying conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. Immediate care usually involves cooling the area with running water — except in electrical injury — and most burns beyond first degree need referral to a specialised burns and plastic surgery unit.
At Amandeep Hospitals we provide expert care through a specialised team of plastic and burn surgeons, supported by a burn ICU, isolation wards and dedicated operation theatres. Round-the-clock anaesthesia and surgical availability ensures timely, effective treatment of even the most severe burns — from first degree to the most critical fourth-degree injuries.
The Institute brings together:
- Dedicated burn ICU with ventilator support
- Isolation wards for infection control
- Operation theatres reserved for burns surgery
- Internationally trained plastic and burn surgeons
- 24×7 anaesthesia and surgical teams
- Post-burn rehabilitation with physiotherapy and occupational therapy
Treatment does not end when the wound closes.
Deep burns leave contractures that limit movement — especially of the face, neck and hands.
The Institute offers rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery for post-burn deformity, with physiotherapy and occupational therapy that help patients return to active, social lives.
The Amandeep Advantage
More Than a Dressing Station
Major burns demand intensive care, infection control, repeated surgery and long rehabilitation. The Institute is built to deliver all four without moving the patient.
Burn ICU
Fluid resuscitation, ventilator support and continuous monitoring for major and inhalation burns.
Infection Control
Isolation wards and strict protocols, because infection is the leading threat to a burn patient after the first 48 hours.
Dedicated Theatres
Operation theatres reserved for escharotomy, debridement, grafting and reconstruction with 24×7 anaesthesia cover.
Reconstruction & Rehabilitation
Contracture release, scar revision and functional rehabilitation of the face, neck and hands after healing.
Burns We Treat
Every Cause. Every Depth. Every Age.
The Institute manages acute burns of all kinds and the deformities that follow them.
Flame Burns
Fire, stove and blast injuries, often with inhalation injury to the airway.
Scalds
Hot liquid and steam burns — the most common burn in children.
Electrical Burns
High- and low-voltage injury with deep tissue damage beyond what is visible.
Chemical Burns
Acid, alkali and other corrosive injuries needing prolonged irrigation and specialist care.
Inhalation Injury
Airway and lung damage from smoke, requiring ICU and ventilator support.
Friction & Contact Burns
Road-abrasion and hot-surface burns, often combined with trauma.
Paediatric Burns
Burns in children, where fluid balance and scarring need specialist attention.
Post-Burn Contractures
Tight scars restricting the neck, armpit, elbow, hand and fingers.
Burn Scars & Deformity
Hypertrophic scars, keloids and disfigurement affecting function and confidence.
Treatments & Procedures
From Resuscitation to Reconstruction
Burn care is a sequence, not a single procedure. The Institute delivers every stage of it.
Emergency Resuscitation
Fluid resuscitation, airway protection and pain control in the first critical hours after a major burn.
Burn ICU Care
Ventilator support, invasive monitoring and nutrition for patients with extensive or inhalation burns.
Escharotomy & Debridement
Release of constricting burn tissue and removal of dead skin to prevent infection and allow healing.
Wound Care & Dressings
Specialised antimicrobial dressings and regular dressing changes in an infection-controlled environment.
Skin Grafting
Split- and full-thickness grafts to close deep burns and speed healing of large areas.
Flap Reconstruction
Local and free flaps for deep burns exposing bone, tendon or joint, including microvascular surgery.
Contracture Release
Surgery to release tight post-burn scars restricting the neck, hands and joints, restoring movement.
Scar Management
Pressure garments, silicone therapy, scar revision and laser options to improve appearance and comfort.
Living with a burn scar or contracture?
Old burns can still be treated. A reconstructive consultation will tell you what can be done to restore movement and appearance.
Get EvaluatedTechnology & Infrastructure
Built for the Most Vulnerable Patients
A major burn patient has lost the body's barrier against infection and fluid loss. Every part of the Institute is designed around that vulnerability.
Intensive care, isolation, theatre and rehabilitation are dedicated to burns — so the patient is never exposed to the risks of a general ward, and never needs to be transferred for the next stage of care.
What supports the burns team:
- Dedicated burn ICU with ventilators and monitoring
- Isolation wards with infection-control protocols
- Operation theatres reserved for burns surgery
- Dermatomes and mesh graft equipment
- Operating microscope for flap and microvascular surgery
- Round-the-clock anaesthesia team
- Nutrition and dietetics support
- Physiotherapy and occupational therapy for rehabilitation
Infection is the enemy. Isolation is the answer.
After the first 48 hours, infection becomes the greatest threat to a burn patient's life.
Dedicated isolation wards and strict protocols at the Institute keep that risk as low as it can be made.

Beyond the Burns Ward
We Measure Success in Lives Resumed
A burn is healed when the patient returns to the life they had before it.
For one patient, that means a child going back to school without hiding their hands. For another, it means a worker regaining the grip to return to their trade, or a young woman facing the world with confidence again.
Our approach therefore extends well beyond the burns ward.
Survival
Intensive care through the most dangerous days.
Healing
Wounds closed with the least scarring achievable.
Function
Movement of face, neck and hands protected and restored.
Confidence
Because the real outcome of burn care is a life lived fully.
Technology With a Human Touch
Specialised Care for a Devastating Injury
It is Surgeon + ICU + Rehabilitation + Patient.
Intensive care and isolation keep a burn patient alive through the critical days.
Grafting and reconstruction close the wound and rebuild what was lost.
But a burn injury is also a psychological injury — to confidence, to identity, to hope.
At Amandeep, clinical excellence is delivered with compassion — with one objective:
Save life.Heal skin.Restore living.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about burns — first aid, treatment and scars.
Cool the burn under cool (not cold) running water for 10–20 minutes. Do not use ice or very cold water, as it can deepen the injury, and do not apply toothpaste, oil or butter. Cover loosely with a clean cloth and seek medical care. In electrical injury, make sure the power is off before touching the person.
Seek care if the burn is large, deep, or affects the face, hands, feet, joints or genital area; if blisters form; if it is electrical or chemical; or if the person shows signs of shock such as dizziness or difficulty breathing. Most burns beyond first degree should be seen by a burns unit.
First-degree burns affect only the outer skin, causing redness and mild pain. Second-degree burns reach deeper layers, causing blisters and intense pain. Third-degree burns destroy all skin layers and may involve underlying tissue, appearing white, charred or leathery — and fourth-degree burns extend to muscle and bone. The Institute treats all degrees.
Clean the burn gently with mild soap and water, apply a sterile dressing and change it regularly. Do not break blisters. For anything beyond a minor burn, professional wound care and, where needed, antibiotics are the safest way to prevent infection.
Minor first-degree burns can be treated at home with cooling, pain relief and a clean dressing. Second- and third-degree burns, or any burn with significant pain, swelling or blistering, need professional care — and deep or extensive burns need a dedicated burns unit.
Scar treatment may include silicone gel sheets, pressure garments, physiotherapy, and surgical options such as scar revision, contracture release or skin grafting. Follow-up with a burns and plastic surgery specialist determines the most effective plan for each scar.
