Burn Recovery Cooperative: Regional Surgical & Psych Care Network

A membership-based cooperative that aggregates burn/acid attack survivors into cohorts, negotiates bulk-rate surgical packages with reconstructive surgeons and dermatologists, and embeds licensed therapists into pre- and post-op care cycles. Members pay sliding-scale fees; the cooperative contracts directly with hospitals and surgeons to guarantee volume in exchange for 30-50% cost reductions, then reinvests surplus into subsidies for lowest-income members.

SERVICE

66 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the fragmentation (survivors hunt separately for surgeons, therapists, financing) by bundling surgical access, psychological support, and peer community into one pathway. Surgeons get predictable patient volume and faster OR scheduling. Survivors get 40% lower out-of-pocket costs, integrated mental health, and peer support that reduces post-op depression and improves compliance.

Target Audience

Burn and acid attack survivors in underserved regions (South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America); their families; NGOs and government health ministries seeking to reduce surgical backlogs.

Key Features

  • Quarterly surgical cohorts (8-12 survivors per batch, scheduled 4-6 months ahead to allow planning)
  • Pre-op psychological screening and trauma-informed preparation (4-6 weeks before surgery)
  • Embedded therapist during hospital stay and 12-week post-op recovery protocol
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Open-source patient record system (OpenMRS, Bahmni, or Odoo Healthcare) Encrypted messaging (Signal, Wire) for therapist-patient communication Video conferencing (Zoom, Jitsi) for remote therapy sessions Simple membership/billing database (Airtable, Odoo, or custom Django app)

Original Problem

Severe burn and disfigurement victims lack access to affordable reconstructive surgery and psychological support

Acid attack and severe burn survivors face devastating physical disfigurement with limited access to reconstructive procedures due to cost, availability, and psychological trauma. Current healthcare systems fail to provide integrated surgical, dermatological, and mental health support, leaving patients in chronic pain and depression with no viable path to recovery or reintegration.
