Freeing up French hospitals in time for the war wounded. .
In 2025, the French Ministry of Health issued a directive requiring all civilian and military hospitals to prepare for the treatment of a large influx of war-wounded soldiers by March 2026.
This precautionary measure is part of France's overall crisis anticipation plan in the current international context.
Key aspects of the directive:
Capacity: Hospitals must be ready to receive up to 15,000 wounded soldiers, with operational peaks of 100 to 250 casualties per day for several days.
Scope: The plan anticipates caring for both French and allied foreign soldiers.
Logistics: Medical staging centers are being considered near major transportation hubs like airports, ports, and train stations to stabilize patients and reroute them to their home countries.
Training: Medical staff will require specific training for treating war-related injuries such as explosion wounds, multiple traumas, and post-traumatic mental disorders.
Personnel: The plan implies the potential requisitioning of all medical workers in the country to supplement the existing military medical service personnel.
Infrastructure: The plan acknowledges the "limitations in wartime" and the need to prioritize resources, which could affect regular care services.
