Medical Reinforcement Company

A medical reinforcement company is a military medical unit created during World War II to provide medical care to wounded and sick soldiers and officers during combat operations on the front line. Formed in 1943, the Medical Reinforcement Company saw many battles and became a symbol of the strength and dedication of the medical service in combat situations. The main task of the medical reinforcement company was the timely provision of medical assistance to the medical squads who worked in the rear. The medical detachment consisted of doctors, nurses, orderlies and ambulances. They had the skills of first aid, diagnosis, treatment and transportation of the wounded. The work of military doctors and nurses was associated not only with treatment on the battlefield, but also with providing emergency assistance during natural disasters, accidents and other incidents.

In addition, the medical reinforcement company took part in other operations, for example, supplying food to troops on the front line, providing assistance to civilians and promoting sanitary communications between the forward sectors of the front and strongholds on Soviet territory. During the war years, in the medical reinforcement company, doctors were able to provide assistance to more than 26 thousand wounded and sick military personnel. The importance of this company for military affairs and its influence on the history of world health is undeniable. The doctors of this company are an example of courage, professionalism and the ability to make the right decisions in any conditions. Their contribution to the safety and health of millions of people across Europe and Asia is of enormous importance to the entire world.
