The“SAfW Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Wundbehandlung” (Swiss Socienty of Wound Treatment) has created a catalog of requirements that meets the complexity of treating patients with acute and chronic wounds. Each wound outpatient clinic/wound consultation has the opportunity to have its instructions checked by the SAfW. If the requirements are met, the respective facility will be listed and proposed on the SAfW Website. Recognized wound centers document their cases in the SAfW wound registry.

Quality assurance has been mandatory for recognized SAfW wound centers since 2011. The innovative Adjumed database and the systematic, nationwide recording of wounds make Switzerland one of the leading countries in wound management.

Further information on the SAfW wound register can be found on the SAfW website.
