A qualitative assessment of disease and non-battle injuries in Ukraine since the Russian invasion
DNBI in Ukraine are directly related to the physical environment and the age and fitness of the military population. The troop shortage has resulted in soldiers with chronic illnesses returning to duty, while the physical environment limits prevention measures for weather-related injuries and infectious diseases. The complex healthcare challenges created by these factors highlight the importance of a military health system with the capacity to provide service members with the full spectrum of care beyond combat injuries.
