title: [Society and chronic wounds. Thoughts to stop invisibility].
abstract: The authors presented a conference at the 5th National Symposium on Bedsores, or Decubitus Ulcers, and Chronic Injuries which dealt with all the dimensions related to this problem: epidemiological data, economic costs, social repercussions and possible alternative treatments; their goal was to raise the consciousness of nursing professionals so that they realize decubitus ulcers are a public health problem for which a solution exists if nursing professionals so desire.
