This year’s focus is on the cooperation between the Estonian Defence Forces and the Estonian Health Board in ensuring the healthcare system performance in a crisis situation, combat injuries and treatment, the impact of war on mental health and the dangers associated with chemical, radiation and bacteriological contamination. Russia's full scale war in Ukraine shows the importance of national Healthcare system preparedness for long-lasting crisis situation. The simultaneous large number of both civilian and military casualties while having limited resources is a challenge for the entire healthcare system.
