Planning for the Mobilization of the Nation's Medical Resources

Category : United States

Pages : 195
Book Description
There is growing concern for the capacity of the military services to medically support the probable range of military contingency operations. This reality was brought to national attention in the recently circulated Long Commission Report which investigated circumstances surrounding treatment of U.S. casualties incurred in the Beirut Bombing. The following is an excerpt of a recent OSD Health Affairs statement on the present state of medical contingency planning. If war came today in Europe, we could provide emergency surgery and resuscitation to at most one in five of our wounded in the combat zone. The situation is worse in Korea and Southwest Asia. Our lack of deployable hospitals would result in a death rate among our wounded of well over 20%--as compared to the 2.5% death rate in Korea and Vietnam. In a crisis, it would take at least 18 months to relieve our shortages of medical equipment. During that period we would not be able to return the numbers of patients to duty that would be needed to sustain our combat strength. (js).

Author: Committee for the Study of the Future of Public Health
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309581907
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
"The Nation has lost sight of its public health goals and has allowed the system of public health to fall into 'disarray'," from The Future of Public Health. This startling book contains proposals for ensuring that public health service programs are efficient and effective enough to deal not only with the topics of today, but also with those of tomorrow. In addition, the authors make recommendations for core functions in public health assessment, policy development, and service assurances, and identify the level of government--federal, state, and local--at which these functions would best be handled.
