Field Medicine

Field medicine, in the context of military and operational medicine, refers to the delivery of medical care in environments outside traditional hospitals, often during military operations or emergencies. It focuses on providing immediate and effective medical treatment to injuries and illnesses occurring in the field, where resources may be limited and conditions challenging. Field medics are trained to assess and stabilize patients, perform life-saving procedures, and evacuate them when necessary. This practice is critical for ensuring the health and survival of military personnel in combat scenarios and during humanitarian missions.
