Background
- Issue:3 March 2010
Abstract: Chronic wounds and lymphedema are often secondary complications of chronic diseases. Chronic wounds and lymphedema cut across diseases, settings, and borders especially in settings with limited resources, and present an opportunity to implement an integrated approach to prevention and care. The following article describes key elements in the design and development of pilot projects based on the principles of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions model.
- Issue:3 March 2010
Abstract: Properly trained volunteers with interests and motivations that match the needs of settings with limited resources help meet the global shortage of well-trained healthcare workers. Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) paves the way for successful volunteering experiences that help improve healthcare outcomes and enrich volunteers’ lives.

Abstract: Two volunteers who have continually dedicated time and effort to the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care (AAWC) and the Global Alliance and World Alliance for Wound and Lymphedema Care (WAWLC) describe perceptions of their life-changing overseas volunteer experiences. Learning and teaching became a two-way enrichment process, as volunteers and local healthcare leaders shared knowledge and practice pearls during lectures and hands-on workshops for managing wounds and lymphedema.

Abstract: A 23-year-old man living in Orange County, California who was involved in a motor vehicle accident suffered a closed both-bone forearm fracture that was treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The patient then developed wound necrosis and abscesses that revealed a pure culture of non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae. The wound required debridement and excision, which was followed by split-thickness skin grafting. He also received antibiotics and eventually fully recovered.
