Officers and staff of the hospital at the ceremony |
A notable feature of this year’s training season is the increased emphasis on practical exercises and close coordination among departments within the hospital, between the hospital and lower-level units and hospitals in the sector, as well as with civilian medical facilities in the area. Practical effectiveness is considered the key measure, the highest safety requirement, and training results the basis for evaluating the capabilities of both individuals and the collective.
The event created a dynamic training atmosphere, strengthened confidence, enhanced internal solidarity, and unified the determination of all officers and staff as they move into the new training phase.
