title: [The evaluation of the efficiency of rendering medical care to the population in catastrophes].
abstract: The article gives a methodical approach to the efficiency estimate of medical care in some catastrophes. On the basis of statistics about the consequences of mechanothermal injuries it was found out that the opportunity of medical care to the wounded directly at the seat of the catastrophe was one of the decisive factors in the reduction of fatal cases. That also gives the possibility to gain time for stepping up the further medical care. The preliminary training of the population for actions in the disaster conditions is considered to be the best method that could increase the efficiency of rescue operations.
