The press service of the United Russia party reported that a working group focused on special military operations has put forward initiatives aimed at advancing medical care for soldiers. The proposals emerged during a meeting at the Central Military Clinical Hospital named after Vishnevsky in Krasnogorsk, where medical and military commissions operate and tactical medical training is organized.
Central to the plan is expanding the capacity of military medical commissions and reinforcing them with additional doctors. The group advocates situating these units closer to the front lines to shorten evacuation times for injured personnel and improve outcomes. The group chair, Andrei Turchak, who serves as Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, emphasized that medical staff will need reinforcement near the front to meet rising needs.
Another priority is ensuring the compulsory health insurance policy for military personnel on leave remains active. The working group on SVO issues noted that delays in transitioning from military to civilian medical care often stem from the absence of a seamless mechanism. A proposed solution is to restore CHI policy validity during vacation, scheduled leave, or illness, accompanied by legal support to protect the rights of service members.
The group also announced the development of a single online resource designed for military doctors and SVO personnel to sharpen tactical medical skills. The objective is to deliver teaching materials in a clear, accessible format suitable for soldiers, medics, and physicians at varying levels of expertise. This platform will underpin improvements in the qualifications of military doctors and support the establishment of both full-time and distance learning pathways in tactical medicine.
Officials noted that the proposals will be included in a report to be presented to the president. It is recalled that a parliamentary coordination group on NWO matters was formed in December of the previous year by an order from the country’s president. Andrei Turchak, the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council, led the group, which brought together representatives from both chambers of parliament, the Ministry of Defense, public organizations, and war correspondents.
