Title: Inter-operability of health services of the coalition forces: the Hungarian Military Hospital's experience in the Persian Gulf War. Author: Svéd L. Journal: Mil Med; 1994 Feb; 159(2):95-8. PubMed ID: 8202256. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to study the inter-operability of allied-nation health service support systems working together in support of a combined operation. The Republic of Hungary contributed a military hospital to the Coalition Forces' Health Service Support in Operation Desert Storm. The experience of this hospital was unique. This hospital was incorporated into a western military health service system, which was alien to its organization and doctrines. The hospital's organization was based on the requirements of the former Warsaw Pact and followed Soviet doctrine. The author summarizes the experience of medical professionals and non-medical operational conditions during Operation Desert Storm and highlights the similarities and differences of the two systems. He also makes recommendations to promote military medical inter-operability.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
