The dawn of the digital era

Welcome to yet another exciting issue of the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) Silk Road Supplement. Various articles feature, from different countries in the Asia Pacific region. The World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS) Congress (1–5 March 2022) concluded recently in Abu Dhabi. Congratulations to Gulnaz Tariq, the President of WUWHS, who managed to organise the largest conference in wound care, namely the ‘Wound Olympics’, during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a truly difficult time as some speakers and delegates tested positive and had to cancel their trips, while others were quarantined at the airports during the congress. The JWC also organised the WUWHS wound awards on 3 March 2022. Various clinicians, researchers and societies were recognised for their excellent work in the field of wound management. The Malaysian Society of Wound Care Professionals (MSWCP) won the gold medal in the Most Progressive Society category due to the work it has done in relation to education, certification, disaster wound management, COVID-19 programmes, and free home nursing in Malaysia and the region.
