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. The pilot projects will advance the efforts of World Alliance for Wound and Lymphedema Care (WAWLC) to aid health systems in building capacity for effective wound and lymphedema care. .
慢性伤口和淋巴水肿通常是慢性疾病的继发性并发症。慢性伤口和淋巴水肿跨越疾病、环境和边界,尤其是在资源有限的环境中,这为实施综合预防和护理方法提供了契机。以下文章描述了基于世界卫生组织(WHO)慢性病创新照护模式原则的试点项目设计与开发的关键要素。这些试点项目将推动世界伤口与淋巴水肿护理联盟(WAWLC)助力卫生系统建设有效伤口与淋巴水肿护理能力的工作。
