Contribution of the Military Medical Academy to the medical support of work on the destruction of chemical weapons in the territory of the Russian Federation

The data on the participation of employees of the S.M.Kirov Military Medical Academy in the development of the organizational and methodological foundations of medical support for the destruction of chemical weapons. Scientists and specialists of the Academy substantiated theoretical approaches and drafted guidelines for creating an integrated system of medical support for these works. At the facilities for storage and destruction of chemical weapons, an on-site medical team carried out an in-depth medical examination of their personnel; in the clinics of the academy, stationary examination and treatment of military personnel was carried out, establishing the cause-and-effect relationship of the occurrence of diseases with work with toxic chemicals. An examination algorithm was formed, maps of dynamic monitoring of the state of health of personnel of facilities were developed, and software storage tools for clinical diagnostic indicators were created in a database for the examination of the health status of persons from this contingent. The corresponding regulatory and instructive documentation has been drawn up and approved. Methodological approaches developed by the staff of the Academy can be used to create standards for medical examination and examination of persons engaged in potentially hazardous work.
