Resource limited settings
Wound healing in resource limited settings
The purpose of this website is to provide guidelines and recommendations for treating wounds in resource limited settings, such as war situations, specifically developed in response to the conflict in Ukraine.
The recommendations will primarily target non-professional caregivers and healthcare professionals without specialized expertise in wound management. They are published in Ukrainian, English, and Russian. While these recommendations remain relevant for professional caregivers, they may also benefit from the referenced literature upon which the guidelines are based.
The website will continuously evolve to address chronic war wounds as well. The overall aim is to disseminate effective and practical guidelines for the benefit of individuals directly affected by the war and in need of wound care.
The selection of guidelines will be carried out by a selected group of EWMA experts with experience in wound management within war, crisis, and emergency aid contexts. It’s important to note that the chosen guidelines may not necessarily reflect a broad consensus.
If you have suggestions on how to meet the need for wound treatment and management in Ukraine effectively, please submit these suggestions to our idea bank at: jb@ewma.org
Other guidelines
Other institutions and organisations have developed resources and materials, which are both relevant to the treatment of war wounds and freely available.
