Acute wounds & infection

The management of wound infection is an essential aspect of healthcare, requiring special attention from healthcare professionals of all specialties.

In Vietnam, for example, wound infection is a major health problem. In terms of incidence, it represents :

80%

of chronic wounds

50%

of acute wounds

.
This problem is worsened by limited knowledge of how to treat infected wounds.

The URGO Foundation’s initiative stems from its desire to raise awareness on the crucial role of local wound care in resolving infection problems, as a complement to systemic antibiotic treatment.

To pave the way for better management of acute wounds and infection and, ultimately, for better-cared-communities, the URGO Foundation commits!

To pass on the necessary tools and knowledge, the URGO Foundation offers a wide range of training courses for healthcare professionals.

URGO Foundation teams organize dedicated conferences and take part in international events such as SAWC (Symposium on Advanced Wound Care) in the United States.
