On Thursday, 5 December 2024, GWS Wellness and GWS Medika turned Wisma 46, Jakarta, into a hub of inspiration and learning. This wasn’t just another training session—it was a deep dive into the future of wound care, featuring the groundbreaking wund+™ product lineup.
With global wound care expert Rafael Mazuz, Yohanes Fransiskus from GWS Wellness, and the brilliant Dr. Peter Engels from Germany, the day was packed with insights, innovation, and exciting breakthroughs!
Kicking Things Off: Back to Basics
The session started with a quick throwback to the October 2024 training. Rafael Mazuz—renowned for his expertise in wound care solutions across the global and SEA markets—took the lead. From revisiting skin anatomy to understanding wound healing processes, participants were reminded why the basics matter.
Rafael also touched on diabetic foot ulcers, acute and chronic wounds, and strategies to speed up healing. His key message? “Treat the whole patient, not just the hole in the patient.” It was a thought-provoking way to set the tone for the day.
Meet wund+™: The Next Big Thing in Wound Care
Next up, Yohanes Fransiskus, Head of Sales and Marketing from GWS Wellness, took the stage to introduce the wund+™ lineup—a trio of innovative products that are set to redefine wound care in Indonesia.
He started with the wund+™ Wound Spray, highlighting its HOCl-based formula that ensures safe and effective wound cleaning. Then came the wund+™ Scar Gel, powered by Centella Reversa stem cells, designed to help scars fade beautifully. Finally, Yohanes presented the wund+™ Regeneration Cream, infused with Microsilver to protect diabetic feet and prevent infections.
Yohanes didn’t just stop at the science–he shared how these products are more than innovative. They’re game-changers with the potential to make a real difference for patients across Indonesia. Participants couldn’t help but feel pumped about their potential to make a real difference!
Why Diabetic Foot Screening Is a Must
Post-lunch, the focus shifted to diabetic foot screening—a crucial step in preventing complications like ulcers and amputations. Attendees learned how regular foot checks not only help manage diabetes but also detect other underlying conditions. GWS Medika’s team came away with practical skills to step up their screening game and help their patients lead healthier lives.
Science Meets Skincare: Dr. Peter Engels Virtual Session
The energy stayed high as Dr. Peter Engels joined the session live from Germany, bringing his wealth of knowledge as the Scientific Advisor from SanderStrothmann GmbH, GWS Wellness partner in innovation. Dr. Engels wowed everyone with the cutting-edge science behind wund+™.
From the power of HOCl in the Wound Spray to the scar-reducing magic of Centella Reversa in the Scar Gel, and the infection-fighting properties of Microsilver in the Regeneration Cream, Dr. Engels left attendees buzzing with questions and ideas. The session was nothing short of inspiring, leaving everyone motivated and ready to bring these solutions to life.
Wrapping It All Up: Practice Makes Perfect
To lock in everything they’d learned, participants jumped into a quick roleplay session. From showcasing the products to explaining their benefits, it was a fun and interactive way to solidify their understanding. The day ended with smiles, a group photo, and a renewed sense of purpose: to bring wund+™ innovations to life and improve healthcare for Indonesians.
The Future of Wound Care in Indonesia
Before the day ended, Michelle Hoo, Chief Marketing Officer of GWS Wellness and GWS Medika, delivered a heartfelt closing message. She emphasised that GWS Wellness isn’t just about delivering innovative products but about inspiring Indonesians to live healthier lives.
Addressing diabetes—a major silent killer—Michelle underscored the urgency of raising awareness about diabetic foot wounds. She closed with a powerful message: “Save a Limb, Save a Life”, reaffirming the mission to protect and empower Indonesians through groundbreaking products and compassionate care.
