Medical services in the Lebanon War, 1982: an overview.
To medicine every war is a challenge. The armed conflict creates an emergency which calls for large numbers of personnel and presents many new problems. Modern wars are fought not between armies alone but between nations. The shortage must be compensated by improved organization that will eliminate every source of waste and inefficiency. Thus, war becomes a testing ground for a nation's ability to organize all its health services, and it may become a rich source of experience for the organization of services after the war.
