Abstract:
The combat trauma medicine in China was originated in the era of the revolutionary war and has been an important component of the practice of people′s wars. Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People′s Republic of China, combat trauma medicine in China has evolved through four stages of development: a difficult start, military-civilian collaboration, innovation driven progress, and comprehensive improvement. A relatively complete theoretical and technological system as well as a comprehensive rescue and treatment system including medical rescue, trauma centers, regional trauma treatment systems, wound repair departments, etc, have been established. The field also boasts a series of national-level scientific and technological innovation platforms, such as national key laboratories, national medical centers, and national emergency medical rescue bases, which all strongly contributes to "the Peaceful China initiative". The author reviewed the development process of combat trauma medicine in China, emphasizing the need to stand at the forefront of the discipline and focus on national needs and continuing to promote high-quality development of combat trauma medicine, which will play a strategic supporting role in advancing the construction of "the Peaceful China initiative" at a higher level in the new era.
