Recently

the Navy's "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship

conducted maritime practical medical training

in a certain area of the South China Sea

focusing on small boat transfers, emergency responses

and mass casualty treatment,

to test the medical rescue capabilities of officers and soldiers throughout the entire maritime process.

Upon arriving in the mission sea area,

the "Silk Road Ark" hospital ship

immediately entered combat status,

with deck support allowing officers and soldiers to quickly lower small boats

to transport medical supplies forward

and rapidly transfer "injured personnel" aboard.

The forward team carried medical equipment

to conduct emergency treatment for simulated burns, fractures, and chest injuries

from combat trauma.

The triage team quickly completed the classification and diversion of the injured,

while the surgical team simultaneously began preoperative preparations.

Personnel at each position

worked closely together and efficiently coordinated

to ensure a seamless link for frontline emergency rescue, triage,

and surgical monitoring,

achieving a complete and seamless connection for the treatment of the injured.

This effectively honed the comprehensive emergency rescue capabilities at sea.

This exercise

accumulated valuable experience in mass casualty treatment

and effectively promoted the construction of a

rapid response and robust support

far-sea life support platform.
