MOSCOW, October 8 - RIA Novosti. Evacuation of the wounded has turned into a complex medical and military task due to changes in the usual rules caused by drones, said First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Badma Bashankaev.
“Today, evacuation itself has become a complex medical and military task. Drones have seriously changed the usual rules: sometimes you can’t just drive up, pick up a wounded person and quickly take him to the hospital. Therefore, the entire chain is changing - first aid, stabilization, evacuation, surgery, rehabilitation,” Bashankaev told NEWS.ru.
According to the deputy, military medicine has changed a lot in recent years. With timely evacuation, the vast majority of the wounded admitted to the hospital can be saved, Bashankaev emphasized.
