Medical Evacuation Train: Providing Emergency Transport and Treatment in Conflict Zones
In Ukraine, a hospital train has been created to provide emergency transport and treatment to patients in the middle of conflict zones. The train, a collaboration between Medsansan Frontier and the Ukrainian Railways, was designed using eight railway carriages from the 1980s. The carriages were modified to include an intensive care unit and other necessary equipment. Since March 2022, the train has been making weekly trips, successfully transferring injured patients to safer hospitals.
