The main achievements of military surgeons, therapists, epidemiologists, military doctors-organizers to improve medical care during the war are specified. It is noted that the introduction of the principles of military-field medical doctrine and advanced scientific developments in the broad practice of military doctors has significantly reduced sanitary losses in the Red Army.
