Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

Russia’s war in Ukraine is pushing the healthcare system to its limits. Combat medics, doctors and medical staff are forced to make life‑changing decisions within minutes, with limited resources and many wounded. How does war affect medical priorities, ethics, and the organization of care?

Utökad information om evenemanget

You meet Ukrainian frontline medics, military commanders organizing the defense, and a Swedish volunteer organization operating its own ambulances and personnel on the front line. You will see the equipment used and one of the evacuation vehicles—CASEVACs—operating in combat zones. The CASEVAC is on display the whole week in Ukrainska Hubben. Ukraine’s frontline medical system is highly structured, yet adapted to extreme conditions, combining NATO standards with real-time battlefield improvisation. The discussion highlights experiences from Ukraine and explores how the wounded are treated, how the chain of care is organized, and the challenges of saving lives in a new type of warfare, where constant drone presence complicates rescue operations.
