Evacuation Hospital

Evacuation hospital

An evacuation hospital, or evacuation hospital, is a medical institution that is designed to provide assistance to the wounded and sick during the evacuation period, that is, during movement from one place to another. Evacuation hospitals can be created both on the territory of military operations and in peacetime, for example, in the event of epidemics or natural disasters.

The main tasks of the evacuation hospital:

– Providing medical care to the wounded, sick and injured during evacuation;
– Organization and implementation of sanitary and epidemiological measures;
– Ensuring the safety and protection of staff and patients;
– Training of medical workers to work in evacuation conditions.

The evacuation hospital includes various units, such as the emergency department, surgical department, therapeutic department, infectious diseases department, intensive care unit, laboratory diagnostics department and others. Each department has its own tasks and functions, which are aimed at providing quality medical care to patients.

One of the important aspects of the work of an evacuation hospital is ensuring the safety of patients and staff. For this purpose, the hospital creates special services, such as security, fire safety, access control and others. In addition, the evacuation hospital carries out sanitary and epidemiological measures aimed at preventing the spread of infections and other diseases.

The operation of an evacuation hospital requires highly qualified medical workers and the availability of modern equipment and medicines. However, despite all the difficulties, the evacuation hospital is an important link in the healthcare system and helps preserve the health and lives of people in extreme conditions.
