title: WUWHS 2012 - better care, better life.
abstract: As secretary general of the 4th Congress of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS 2012), I am delighted to introduce the readers of the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) to WUWHS 2012. Occurring once every 4 years, this event took place for the first time in Melbourne in 2000, followed with great success in Paris in 2004 and Toronto in 2008. This year, for the first time, it will be held in Asia.
