China's Burn Medicine: A Global Leader in Specialized Care

China has emerged as a global pioneer in burn medicine, renowned for its advanced wound management, skin regeneration technologies, and mass casualty response systems. Chinese burn centers lead in areas like composite tissue transplantation and stem cell therapy for severe burns, with survival rates for major burns (>90% TBSA) surpassing many Western counterparts. The field benefits from military-medical collaborations (e.g., trauma innovations from army hospitals) and integrates TCM with modern techniques. However, challenges remain in rural access and long-term rehabilitation.
