Abstract

The development of an interprofessional team approach to the care of acute and chronic wounds is a worldwide challenge. This global unmet need has recently been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and addressed by the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) Global Volunteers program. This article provides an overview of the escalating international wound problem. Current programs established to deal with wounds in resource-poor countries are presented as well as information on volunteering.
