Stabilisation medical units in the combat zone will be reinforced with professional medical staff.
This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
‘In order to save the lives of Ukrainian servicemen as much as possible, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has decided to strengthen the medical services that provide medical care to our wounded soldiers in the combat zone with professional medical personnel. In particular, stabilisation centres of military units and subdivisions. For this purpose, medical personnel from healthcare facilities (hospital units) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be involved,’ the statement said.
The General Staff stressed that the reinforcement of units directly engaged in combat operations with medical personnel is carried out at the request of the commanders of combat military units.
‘The sooner a wounded serviceman's condition is professionally stabilised and he receives prompt medical care, the greater the chances of saving his life. Timely and professional help saves the lives of our soldiers. This is our main task,’ the statement said.
The General Staff also stressed that military medics are not being ‘transferred to the infantry’ - they will continue to work in their immediate speciality.
‘A doctor cannot be trained in a month, such a specialist must have an appropriate level of education and professional experience. Since the fighting is now characterised by high intensity, there is a need for such specialists in combat units,’ the statement said.
