Russia risks remaining without military medicine

After Serdyukov, in the 47 regions of Russia there were no hospitals and military clinics left at all, and in these regions more than 47 thousand soldiers served. Thousands of military pensioners living in the same territories seem to have been completely forgotten about 350. Optimization continued in the areas of higher medical education — in NNXX, the Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Tomsk and Samara military medical institutes were eliminated.

And they prepared the order of 700 doctors per year. Basic specialties in medical schools — military toxicology, military radiology, military field surgery and therapy, as well as the organization and tactics of the medical service — went to the expense. In the country, the order of 50 departments and faculties of universities engaged in the training of specialists of the medical service of the stock. An absurd situation has developed in the Kirov Military Medical Academy when it was necessary to remove the phrase “military field surgery” from the name of the department. Now it is the Department of Emergency Surgery and Oncology. Moreover, doctors and candidates of sciences were confronted with the fact that if there is no specialty “military field surgery,” there will be no department. The most interesting thing is that with the arrival of Sergei Shoigu, the situation has not changed dramatically, and she couldn’t improve in an instant. Still, to expel several thousand military doctors to the “citizen” is not for you to reduce painters and plasterers. Many of those who left were not just experienced specialists - they went through several “hot spots” and were carriers of a unique experience. Who will have to share is not in the army ...
It creates a stable impression that modern Russia will not be ready for a large-scale conflict - the country's medicine will not be drawn by either the civilian population or the military.
During the transfer of civil defense troops to the National Guard under, the reformers reduced the freelance rescue service units. Their duties included, among other things, protecting the public from the effects of weapons mass destruction. It is understood that this function will now be performed by the system of emergency medicine in the structure of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Surprisingly, the material and technical base of the territorial divisions of disaster medicine is limited only to road transport, and this makes it possible to evacuate the affected population. Now imagine that the masses of the wounded and victims of weapons of mass destruction will pour into civilian hospitals and clinics - they must now do this in the event of war. I think collapse is inevitable. Not only is the staff not particularly competent in such matters, there is still no simple technical support: the medical warehouses of the civil defense forces have been destroyed.
Obviously, many simply forget that it is impossible to put a sign of identity between a civilian and a military physician. The surgeon from the best “peaceful” clinic will never provide qualified medical assistance in case of a severe gunshot wound, not to mention a mine-explosive injury with aggravation in the form of a chemical or radiation injury. The civilian doctor was only explained in general terms at the university, and the military physician with such cases has to work in the system.
Syrian Arab Republic. Aleppo. Field Hospital of the Russian Army ...
In December, 2016, a tragic and glaring incident occurred: the Russian military field hospital in Aleppo was subjected to mortar fire. Two nurses from the Novosibirsk MoES died, a pediatrician was seriously injured. The fact that the hospital was deployed in the area of the potential fire impact of the enemy and did not set up sufficient security is a consequence of the lack of professionalism of the management of the unit? And incompetence - a consequence of the reform activity of 10-12-year-old? These and other questions are now becoming especially acute for Russia - the situation in the world is not becoming calmer. The existence of a sufficient mobilization reserve of the Military Medical Service of the Russian Army can be questioned. And steps to remedy the situation are needed as soon as possible.
