ABSTRACT
Colonel Prof. Paweł Krzesiński, the Deputy Director’s Plenipotentiary for International Relations at the
Military Institute of Medicine - National Research Institute, participated in the VIMIMED 2023 international conference,
where issues related to military healthcare and challenges associated with military operations in Europe were
discussed. Representatives from the healthcare services of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, as well as
NATO and EU institutions, attended the conference. Colonel Prof. Krzesiński delivered two lectures at the conference.
The first lecture focused on the autonomic nervous system in soldiers and its significance in interpreting cardiac
incidents. The second lecture was dedicated to telemedicine solutions that can be utilized in the care of soldiers both
during peacetime and on the battlefield. During the discussions, Colonel Prof. Krzesiński advocated for preventive
actions within the Visegrad Group and NATO armed forces aimed at preventing, detecting, and treating civilization-
-related diseases, as well as combating risk factors. The importance of healthcare for the armed forces, benefiting both
individual soldiers and the effectiveness of military operations, was emphasized.
