In this perspective article, Dr. Serena describes the growing worldwide burden of acute and chronic wounds, drawing on his volunteer experience in Cambodia, Haiti and elsewhere. He outlines the World Health Organization's recognition of the problem, efforts such as the World Alliance for Wound and Lymphedema Care and the AAWC Global Volunteers program with Health Volunteers Overseas, and the need for both clinician education and wound care products in resource-poor regions. The article closes with practical steps for clinicians who want to volunteer.
