During the Army 2024 Forum, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Anna Tsivileva holds a round table where she discussed with counterparts from the Russian military department, other security services, and representatives of prostheses companies ways of organising rehabilitation of participants of special military operation.
'The tasks ahead of us are large-scale. Today, heroes defending the Motherland are seriously wounded and injured. It is our duty to provide them with full, highly-qualified medical care and rehabilitation. We invited the leading domestic specialists in treatment, prostheses, and rehabilitation to join us,' Anna Tsivileva said opening the meeting.
She said that today's experience shows that rehabilitation can only be successful if it is comprehensive: it includes treatment, medical examination, sport, recreation, communication, and mental relief.
'In order to restore lost functions as fully as possible, to return to full life, it is necessary to establish a single continuous process of rehabilitation treatment in prostheses of war veterans and participants of the special military operation. We have also set up a working group with the country's leading prosthetic companies to develop common prosthetics standards for trauma caused by war,' she said.
'In addition, Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov took the initiative, the President supported it, and we have already implemented it. This initiative includes the involvement of civilian medical facilities in the treatment process. This is very important for medical routing, for improving the quality of medical care. It is very important for us to be able to design an algorithm and routing for a serviceman. So that when a serviceman arrives and requires emergency medical assistance, it is provided by our professional surgeons, who of course are now doing anything and everything to save the lives of military personnel,' said the Deputy Defence Minister of the Russian Federation at the Forum's event.
She added that 'in the long run, in the future, when a soldier undergoes a rehabilitation programme, a prosthetic programme, a serviceman must receive comprehensive rehabilitation, including the work of psychologists, training, retraining, future employment if necessary: whether he or she decides to stay or to be commissioned or demobilised'.
The Deputy Minister also visited the booth of the Military Medical Academy while working at the Forum. There she learnt about new ways of training future doctors. In particular, she had a look at application of augmented reality systems as well as specially designed programmes, such as one that contains a tactical medical encyclopaedia.
During talks with representatives of the leading institution for training military medics, Anna Tsivileva noted the need to expand tactical medical training in the Russian Armed Forces.
Russian Deputy Defence Minister Anna Tsivileva stated that it was necessary to develop a system of training in tactical medical techniques for all categories of servicemen. This, she said, is important in saving hundreds of military lives.
'We were just discussing the development of tactical medicine, which I believe is also very important. And this is the expertise of the servicemen, not only of the Special Forces, but of every serviceman, and the importance of tactical medicine - it is very crucial to save hundreds of military lives, of those who are now on the front line,' Anna Tsivileva said while visiting the booths of the Military Medical Academy.
The Army 2024 Forum takes place from 12 to 14 August in the Patriot Exhibition and Convention Centre. During the event, the participants will be presented with, inter alia, samples of weapons, military and special equipment.
