The Ministry of Defense has approved new training standards for first aid for Ukrainian servicemen. As noted by the agency, these standards are based on combat experience and NATO approaches, reports UNN.

The document includes two main standards:

  • First aid - the training provided in BZVP. Assistance for critical bleeding, breathing difficulties, prevention of hypothermia, and evacuation of the wounded, along with other skills that every serviceman should possess.
  • Advanced basic first aid - in-depth training focused on assistance in challenging conditions, ensuring airway patency, circulatory support, and techniques for moving the injured. For military specialists, medical orderlies, and all officers without exception.

Training based on both standards will involve lectures with multimedia support, practical sessions in small groups, and simulation exercises in field conditions simulating combat scenarios.

Certified instructors will be required to use informative-evidence-based and explanatory-illustrative methods, as well as interactive tools, including computer technology and educational mobile applications.

Knowledge and skills will be assessed using special sheets that combine theoretical questions and practical tasks. Servicemen who demonstrate high potential may be recommended for further professional training in military medical specialties.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the implementation of these standards will ensure a high level of military training, enabling them to provide effective first aid in combat and other extreme situations, thereby preserving the lives and health of their comrades.
