Global burn registry
The Global Burn Registry is based upon a brief data collection form that has been developed by WHO and a global network of experts and widely pilot tested. It provides the opportunity to move from a range of fragmented approaches to an improved, standardized,
and global data collection system for this important public health problem.
Registering to participate in the Global Burn Registry is straight forward and carried out through this website on the pages that follow. Upon registration, the data collection form and guidance on how to use it are sent to the focal person who registered
the health facility to participate. The form is available in English, French and Spanish and takes approximately 5 minutes to complete or upload.
Data can be accessed in English, French and Spanish through the tables visible at the bottom of this page. Note that these tables can be modified to show chart views and filter the data. All data can also be exported – but only from within the table view – by selecting to
“Export data” as described at the top of the table view.
WHO recommends that all persons interested in either accessing and using the data in the Global Burn Registry, or registering their health facility to participate in the Global Burn Registry, should first read a brief Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
document (link at bottom of this page) which provides answers to the most commonly asked questions about the Global Burn Registry. At the bottom of the FAQ there is a link for those who wish to register their health facility to participate in the
Global Burn Registry.
Access to, and use of, the data within the Global Burn Registry is subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Global Burn Registry which can be accessed through the link below.
