WOUND CARE
MANAGEMENT
Complex and chronic wounds are a significant disease burden in the community and many of these patients suffer from underlying concurrent vascular pathology or diabetic foot disease and deformities.
As per international guidelines supported by evidence from medical literature, a multidisciplinary approach to complex wound care improves outcomes for patients.
A periodic multi-disciplinary wound care clinic has been established with the aim of providing comprehensive care for addressing this challenging disease entity which negatively impacts the quality of life for many patients.
