This year’s focus is on Civil-Military cooperation, the impact of war on mental health, dangers associated with chemical, radiation and bacteriological contamination and pre-hospital blood transfusioon. Ongoing war in Ukraine shows the importance of preparedness for entire national healthcare system and the need for constant adaptation to manage both civilian and military casualties while having limited resources.

Estonian Health Board leads crisis management and preparedness in healthcare by analyzing and assessing risks, making plans, and coordinating training and exercises.

The 17th War and disaster medicine conference aims to bring together both civilian and military experts from Estonia and NATO countries and to offer listeners an opportunity for evidence-based discussion on topics related to war and disaster medicine.
