The war taking place on Ukrainian territory is embedded with an existing military and civilian medical structure which has been rapidly reorganised to meet wartime demands. Bearing the brunt are Military Medical Clinical Centres (MMCCs) and civilian hospitals in the south-eastern and north-eastern regions of Ukraine. Once stabilised, patients are transferred to medical facilities in the central and western parts of the country, distant from the battle lines. In this way, patients are directed evenly to hospitals prepared and specialised for treating combat trauma.
