Immunogenetic Approach to Prognosis of Military Specialists' Health Status
Abstract
The dispensary system is the basis of the curative-preventive support of military personnel in the Aimed Forces of Ukraine. The main purpose of this system is to take preventive and medical-diagnostic measures, directed to health preservation, maintenance and recovery. An additional important task is the medical selection of servicemen and military specialists for particular professional activities, and also the dynamic monitoring of the health of these groups. Today, the Ukraiane army uses combat and technical equipment and installations which contain sources of ionizing and electromagnetic radiation, toxic components and other health hazards. Moreover, many military units are deployed in parts of Ukraine which have been polluted with radionuclides deposited as a consequence of the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station accident. Therefore, an adequate selection of military specialists who have to work in adverse professional and ecological environments is a very urgent and complicated issue for the military-medical service, and this requires new organizational and methodical approaches and essential expenses In the Ukraine military-medical services, there is a system in place which regulates the medical selection of military specialists who are in contact with sources of ionizing radiation or toxic substances. This system includes special medical examinations, the establishment of norms for permissible levels of ionizing radiation or toxic substances in a given working environment, individual and collective protection and decontamination measures, and other provisions.
