Military Medical Teams in Peacekeeping Missions
Active participation of military healthcare services in both peacekeeping operations and Ministry of Defence and Serbian Armed Forces international activities represents one of the most important aspects of international cooperation. Military physicians along with entire medical staff consider peacekeeping missions as the opportunity to make professional and personal improvement. They learn to work together and share experience with the other foreign colleagues, acquiring that way important skills for further professional development but also the ones involving personal level (language skills, learning about different world cultures and traditions,…). Military Medical Academy’s Medical Faculty recognized the significance of military physicians’ participation in those missions due to preparing cadets through their curriculum for all possible challenges. The participation is strictly voluntary. Military Medical Academy has multiple interests for its participation, offering single opportunity for new knowledge acquirement and international Military Medical Academy promotion.
For several years, numerous medical teams represent Serbian Ministry of Defence in peacekeeping missions assigned by United Nation and European Union.
