List of burn centres in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of burn centres in Canada. A burn centre or burn care facility is typically a hospital ward which specializes in the treatment of severe burn injuries. There are currently approximately 20 hospitals that care for burn injuries and receive referrals across Canada.[1] Most provinces have at least one burn unit, and sometimes a hospital for adults and another for children. The largest verified burn centres are in Toronto.
