Design of a District-level Pilot Project Model for the Prevention and Care of Chronic Wounds and Lymphedema in Settings With Limited Resources .

 Chronic wounds and lymphedema are often secondary complications of chronic diseases. Chronic wounds and lymphedema cut across diseases, settings, and borders especially in settings with limited resources, and present an opportunity to implement an integrated approach to prevention and care. The following article describes key elements in the design and development of pilot projects based on the principles of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions model. The pilot projects will advance the efforts of World Alliance for Wound and Lymphedema Care (WAWLC) to aid health systems in building capacity for effective wound and lymphedema care. .
