Description of the research topic:

Experiences of our medical team obtained from medical care after Sumatran tsunami, Pakistani and Indonesian earthquakes are summarized along with recommendations for establishment and operation of further medical teams working in catastrophic areas of the world. Establishment of 10-12-member teams consisting of doctors and assistants is recommended. The teams of this kind are able to provide rapid and effective emergency medical care at disaster fields including hardly accessible villages, towns and fields as well as organize patients’ transport and further therapy of severe patients. They can participate in caritative activities and offer a great help in arranging long-term work of further medical and caritative organizations saving money for them. The research gives a summary on basic requirements for establishing such teams. The unexpected difficulties and the ways for their solution in order to provide successful and safety mission are also mentioned.
