Sažetak
Between September 1, 1991, and December 31, 1992, 7, 043 wounded persons, 4, 566 of them heavily wounded, were treated at the Slavonski Brod General Hospital. There were three characteristic periods in the work of the hospital during the war. Until March 31, 1992, the hospital provided care for the wounded from the east- and west-Slavonian fronts, at the level of the fourth echelon. The second period started with war actions in Bosanska Posavina and Bosnia and Herzegovina, when the Slavonski Brod General Hospital was the only place offering appropriate care to the wounded from the area. During that period, surgical professions and, to a limited extent, conservative professions were working at the hospital. The third period began with the fall of Bosanska Posavina, toward the end of October 1992, and lasted until the end of the year. During that period, the number of the wounded and previously surgically treated at the Tolisa War Hospital, in the unoccupied area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, admitted to the Slavonski Brod General Hospital, decreased. The total mortality rate in the treated subjects was 2.66%, whereas during the war in Bosanska Posavina it was 3.0%. Throughout the war, there was no interruption in the work of hospital conservative professions, although the extent of their work was reduced.
