Good day! Now I will explain everything to you.
1. **Essence of the order:** This order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine amends the existing regulatory legal acts governing the provision of medical care to military personnel. The main goal of the changes is to harmonize terminology and expand the possibilities of providing tactical prehospital care.
2. **Structure and main provisions:** The order amends three previous orders of the Ministry of Defense, namely:
* Order No. 436 of June 29, 2024, regarding the scope of providing first aid.
* Order No. 506 of July 24, 2024, regarding the lists of medicines and medical devices.
* Order No. 598 of September 3, 2024, regarding the scope of providing medical care at the prehospital stage.
The changes concern the renaming of the term “first aid” to “tactical prehospital care”, clarification of the scope of assistance at various levels (basic, intermediate, advanced, higher), as well as changes to the list of medicines and medical devices included in first-aid kits.
3. **Key provisions for use:**
* **Change of terminology:** It is important to note that the term “first aid” has been replaced by “tactical prehospital care”. This should be taken into account when preparing documents and conducting training.
* **Levels of assistance:** The order clearly defines four levels of tactical prehospital care, which allows for better organization of the training of military personnel and the allocation of resources.
* **Changes in first-aid kits:** The quantity of some medicines has been changed and new items have been added (for example, an injectable hemostatic applicator). It is necessary to ensure that first-aid kits are equipped in accordance with the updated requirements.
* **Medical care at the prehospital stage:** A list of measures implemented by medical personnel at the prehospital stage has been defined.
