In such a world situation, various improvements such as the system of trauma treatment in the world are important, so the World Coalition for Trauma Care (WCTC) was established in 2012 by the organization of the trauma academic society representing each country in the world. It was formed. The purpose of WCTC is 1. Raise awareness of the importance of trauma treatment to the world, 2. Trauma education in the world, 3. Development of the system in trauma treatment, 4. It has contributed to the World trauma congress (WTC), and the World Trauma Congress (WTC) was held to achieve that purpose. In August 2012, the first World Trauma Society (World) was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Trauma Congress (WTC) was held, and active discussions were held around the world. After that, the WTC is held once every two years in the countries participating in the WCTC.
