Medical evacuation units will be additionally equipped with armored vehicles and modern electronic warfare systems.
According to Ukrinform, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Oleksandr Syrskyi announced this on Facebook following a meeting on medical support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to him, preserving the life and health of a soldier begins not at the moment of injury, but much earlier—with effective prevention, timely detection of health problems, and proper medical care.
“When we talk about preserving the lives and health of our servicemembers, we are not just talking about evacuation from the battlefield and the treatment of the wounded. An equally important task is preventing illness and maintaining the good health of our servicemembers. This directly affects the combat effectiveness of units, the preservation of personnel, and the readiness of troops to carry out combat missions,” Syrskyi emphasized.
He heard reports from the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Medical Forces and the heads of medical services for troop groupings and combat brigades.
