Childhood Thermal Injuries: Preventable Hazard of Domestic Energy Sources in Ghana
Abstract
Childhood thermal injury with its possible complications and high cost of management is seen as a hazard of domestic energy sources in Ghana. Wood fuel in its natural form as firewood or processed as charcoal is relatively more accessible and there-fore a popular energy source in the country, but dangerous to children. Traditional energy converters and places of cooking are also unsafe. Measures of prevention of the hazard have been discussed.
