The Japanese Society for Acute Care Surgery and the World Coalition for Trauma Care are pleased to invite you to attend the 6th World Trauma Congress, taking place at the Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo in Tokyo, Japan. This event will provide a platform for trauma experts from all over the world to discuss and present the latest research on trauma treatment, education, systems, data collection and analysis, and dissemination and standardization of trauma treatment.

Trauma death is said to be related to economic conditions, and it is said that people in low-income countries have a mortality rate of about 6 times that of people in high-income countries in severe trauma. In order to address this issue, the World Coalition for Trauma Care (WCTC) was established in by the organization of the trauma academic society representing each country in the world. The purpose of WCTC is to raise awareness of the importance of trauma treatment to the world, provide trauma education, and develop the system in trauma treatment.

The World Trauma Congress (WTC) was formed to achieve this purpose and has been held every two years in the countries participating in the WCTC. At this time in Japan, the 6th WTC will provide an opportunity for trauma experts to come together and share their knowledge and expertise.
