The 1st ICRC Conference on Weapon-Wounded Care

The 1st ICRC Conference on Weapon-Wounded Care aims to promote and strengthen the continuum of care in conflicts and will take place at the CICG on the 17th and 18th December.

It serves as a platform for specialists to share experiences, challenges, research, and lessons learnt across disciplines and contexts. These exchanges will equip practitioners, academics, and other professionals to foster improved health outcomes and pave the way towards an optimal standard for weapon-wounded care.

The aim is to enable specialists working in the field of weapon-wounded care to share their experiences and learn from each other so that, together, we can improve the treatment and care of weapon-wounded patients.
