The emergency response chain and acute treatment of severely injured patients are ensured in peacetime through the establishment of the DGU trauma network and the three-tiered DGUV system for managing work-related and commuting accidents. However, could the rehabilitation of military and civilian victims be provided in the event of war if there is already a ‘rehabilitation gap’ in the treatment of seriously injured persons in peacetime? Using Ukraine as a case study, you will learn what efforts are essential to ensure a seamless, phase-specific, and cross-sector rehabilitation process that preserves both military readiness and societal resilience.
