To test whether a culturally adapted multicomponent intervention for improving burns care and patient/family rehabilitation is effective in improving survival among burn victims in Pakistan and is cost-effective. The comparator will be usual care plus brief written self-help advice (enhanced usual care). The study is designed as a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, individually randomised trial. Participants in the intervention arm will receive 8 sessions delivered by the case managers (6 low-intensity sessions lasting 30-60 minutes in the hospital/community and 2 follow-up sessions lasting 30 minutes in the community). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, at 3 months, 6 months and at 12-months post-intervention.
