Abstract

The organization of medical services and health care during the sea trial of INS Vikramaditya aircraft-carrier is analyzed. The ship is the product of modernization of the aircraft-carrying cruiser «Admiral Gorshkov». The history of her building and exploitation is briefly discussed. This is the first  time in Russian shipbuilding that such a large-scale project has been implemented for a foreign state. Therefore, highly specific objectives of comprehensive health care faced the medical services of the Northern Fleet. The main difficulties and particular features of sustaining, developing and organizing the medical and sanitary services included the mixed personnel of the crew involved in servicing the ship during her sea trial and the non-departmental status of the ship and of the civilian part of the commissioning team. Specialists from all over Russia were recruited to the modernization of «Admiral Gorshkov» aircraft-carrying cruiser. Evacuation and in-hospital treatment of patients having somatic and infectious diseases were coordinated with civilian medical services. The organization and provision of health care related to large-capacity vessels in the course of their construction warrant specific approaches and the development of novel algorithms of regular medical services, which must be reinforced.
