Medical and Sanitary Battalion

A medical battalion is a special unit created to provide medical care to wounded and sick military personnel. In Russia, medical battalions appeared during the First World War, when there was a need to quickly provide first aid and evacuate wounded soldiers to the fronts.

In a modern army, medical battalions are an integral part of the military health system. They are multidisciplinary medical institutions that are equipped with modern equipment and are ready to quickly respond to any calls related to injury or illness of military personnel.

Medical and sanitary units are located in various locations and have their own hospitals, equipped with everything necessary to provide qualified medical care. Doctors and nurses working in medical battalions undergo special training and have the skills to provide first aid for various injuries and illnesses.

In addition, medical battalions also carry out preventive work among military personnel and carry out measures to combat stress and negative effects on health. This makes it possible to maintain the health and combat effectiveness of military personnel, which is one of the main tasks of the armed forces.
