MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital)

A Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) is a portable medical unit used by the military to provide emergency surgical and medical care close to combat zones. Designed for rapid deployment, MASH units can be quickly set up near battlefield areas to treat soldiers injured in combat, offering services like surgery, trauma care, and recovery before patients are transferred to larger facilities. They are equipped with medical supplies, operating rooms, and trained personnel, enabling critical and immediate care in challenging environments to save lives and improve recovery outcomes.
