Budapest, Hungary
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Join us for the first international conference dedicated entirely to the comprehensive management of combat-related injuries, bringing together world-leading experts across trauma care, military medicine, reconstructive surgery, prosthetics and rehabilitation.
Modern warfare and prolonged conflicts have introduced complex challenges, including devastating injuries from explosive devices. While advancements in battlefield medicine and military-civilian collaboration have dramatically improved survival rates, patients often encounter chronic pain, functional impairment, and limited access to coordinated long-term care.
This reality drives our commitment to advancing care for combat related injuries, for wounded warriors and civilians.
The upcoming Congress on Integrated Approaches to Combat Trauma brings together expert surgeons, military physicians, and rehabilitation leaders to enhance skills, share knowledge, and develop collaborative models that address the full continuum of care—from acute injury to functional recovery.
We invite you to join this important effort to elevate quality of life for those who’ve sacrificed the most.
This two-day event will explore the full continuum of care—from point-of-injury field treatment to advanced reconstruction and long-term rehabilitation.
We are looking forward to meeting old and new friends and colleagues, in person, in Budapest.
Sincerely,
ACT Conference Co- Chairs

About act 2026
Military medicine has evolved through conflicts, each shaping modern trauma care.
Current conflicts around the world underscore the need to adapt these protocols to high-energy explosion injuries and complex limb injuries —continuing to improve survival and recovery.
While battlefield survival rates have reached historic highs through innovations like damage control resuscitation and rapid evacuation protocols, many patients face lifelong challenges requiring integrated, multidisciplinary care.
ACT Conference represents a groundbreaking initiative in military medicine, bringing together world-leading experts to address the complex challenges of combat-related injuries.
This comprehensive event will cover every stage of care—from acute trauma care, through advanced reconstructive strategies to long-term rehabilitation.
