Pages of history of russian military-fi eld therapy (to the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War)

Abstract

The great previous experience, accumulated by doctors in various wars and local military confl icts, convincingly proved the necessity of creating a harmonious system in the therapeutic services organization in the wartime conditions — the system based on the unity of views on the origin, fl ow and treatment of pathological processes, taking into account the specifi c conditions in which servicemen are in the period of military operations. All this has brought to life a new branch of therapy — the military-fi eld therapy. The Great Patriotic War was the most important stage in the development of domestic military-fi eld therapy as a stage characterized by the creation of an eff ective and science-based rendering therapeutic assistance to the wounded and sick system based on the principles of a unifi ed military-fi eld medical doctrine.
