Histoire de la Médecine aux Armées. De 1980 à nos Jours

A richly illustrated work that traces the profound changes in the French Armed Forces Medical Service in the 21st century, between field operations, innovation and loyalty to its vocation: to provide care everywhere, in the service of life. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the French Armed Forces Medical Service (SSO) has undergone a period of profound change. History seems to have accelerated dramatically. With more than 200 photographs, this book delves into the heart of these changes, which in just a few decades have fundamentally transformed the organisation of the SSO under the influence of a constantly changing political, strategic, budgetary and technological environment. Faced with these challenges, it has been able to adapt while remaining faithful to its original mission: to protect and provide care wherever the fatherland and humanity call. The last history of military medicine published in France dates back to the 1980s. Written by leading experts doctors, surgeons, psychiatrists, pharmacists, veterinarians, etc. this new work highlights the women and men of the 20th century who, with dedication and courage, have carried on the values of their predecessors. From Bosnia to the Sahel, from Afghanistan to Lebanon, the SSO's mission remains unchanged.
