Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles visited a field hospital that Spain will hand over to Ukrainian border guards
The Minister met with Ukrainian border guards who are being trained in Spain on the use of the field hospital.
The Spanish partners will transfer the complex after passing the instructor-methodological training of our multidisciplinary team of border medics.
Margarita Robles thanked the Ukrainian military on behalf of Spain for courage and courage, for defending both her country and the values shared by the society of European countries.
The training of Ukrainian servicemen is carried out by the Aviation Medical Unit of the Zaragoza Deployment Support Unit (UMAAD Zaragoza). The training program includes intensive continuous medical and military training, which, according to the minister, is another example of Spain's participation as a country conducting “legitimate defense” training in the face of a “brutal” invasion.
“This field hospital is a very important commitment for us because we believe that with it, thanks to the immediacy with which it can be used, many lives will be saved, which is a fundamental objective,” the minister said during the meeting.
Mobile Field Hospital Role-2 (extended) is a field hospital to assist victims in combat. Its functionality is to identify, stabilize and, if necessary, operate on those affected before they are taken to the hospital. The standard set includes tents, containers or, usually, both. It consists of an outpatient department, several wards including isolators and intensive care units, an operating room including preoperative and postoperative areas, a dental department, laboratory and radiology departments, support, sterilization and hospital administration.
Technical and medical personnel of UMAAD Zaragoza also train Ukrainian military medics to work with complex electromedical devices of diagnostic equipment.
The head of the Mobile Field Hospital of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Colonel Andriy Savchuk thanked the Minister for providing the complex with such a list of equipment and materials.
The defense minister also stressed that Spain, like all NATO and EU allies, will continue to support Ukraine in various ways, whether by sending the necessary equipment, training personnel or helping the wounded with terrible amputations, as the General Defense Hospital in Zaragoza is currently doing.
