Current legislation, namely Law no. 95/ 2006 on healthcare reform in the medical malpractice domain stipulates that medical staff can be held accountable in the following forms: disciplinary liability, administrative liability, civil liability and criminal liability.

The early 1980s marked a turning point for humanitarian aid. During those years most of the major emergency relief agencies became aware that steps were needed to heighten the efficiency of their assistance to disaster victims.New policies were therefore introduced to:• promote preventive measures,• codify assessment methods,• standardize medicines and equipment,• rationalize intervention criteria, and• improve coordination among humanitarian organizations.

"The stillness of the night was broken by groans, by stifled sighs of anguish and suffering. Heart-rending voices kept calling for help. Who could ever describe the agonies of that fearful night … There were few doctors, no nurses, no trained medical personnel. Dressings and the most essential medicaments were also lacking." What Henry Dunant saw on the field of battle caused him to ask the question: "Would it not be possible, in time of peace and quiet, to form relief societies for the purpose of giving care to the wounded in war-time by zealous, devoted and thoroughly qualified volunteers?".

To speak of the Geneva Conventions and medical personnel in the field is truly to return to the very source of international humanitarian law, for the event which led to the birth of that body of law was the tragedy suffered at the battle of Solferino in 1859 by the wretched masses of wounded soldiers on both sides who received no care whatever.

At its second session, which it held in Geneva in May 1972, the Conference of Government Experts on the Reaffirmation and Development of International Humanitarian Law Applicable in Armed Conflicts (Commission I) prepared draft articles on medical air transport and an annex relating to their signalling and identification, which were to be embodied in a future legal instrument. The Commission also recommended that a closer study be made of medical transport at sea and on land. If these suggestions were to lead to a draft instrument, it would be imperative to have a general plan which, in the case of signalling, would extend to all medical personnel and material, whether civilian or military.

The article is devoted to the study of real and prospective practice of mentoring. The information base was data from the questionnaire survey of the personnel of Moscow medical organizations, carried out in 2019. The scale and character of the involvement of medical personnel in the mentoring system were studied with regards to prospective and appropriate models. The need for introduction or expansion of mentoring was compared with the available personnel potential. It turned out that doctors and nurses are involved in various types of mentoring. These are additional training in the workplace, regulated by the management, initiative assistance to youth during their adaptation, and various forms of informal transfer of practical knowledge on a wide range of issues. The demand for mentoring turned out to be higher among doctors and in hospitals. A comparison of respondents who had a mentor and who did not had one, but needed, revealed a shortage of models beyond the standard adaptation. Three groups of respondents were compared: those who were already a mentor, who would agree to become a mentor, who did not want to become a mentor. The educational and qualification level, research activities, work experience in the specialty, specifics of providing medical care with the account of complexity and responsibility were the comparison criteria. The need to introduce or expand mentoring is recognized by many respondents, and the potential composition of mentors allows us to speak about the prospects for its development.

Medical assistance to wounded and sick in time of war has become inconceivable without the protection of humanitarian law.It is to the great credit of the Red Cross founders and the members of the 1864 Diplomatic Conference that they immediately recognised the need not only to ensure care for the wounded but also to protect them by humanitarian law. This was codified in the Geneva Convention of August 22nd, 1864, for the amelioration of the condition of the wounded in the armed forces in the field.

Providing health services to the community is very important, where every community must get proper health services and according to permission from the government. However, in terms of providing services to the community, things that are not supposed to be done by medical personnel are not uncommon, such as malpractice. Malpractice in the provision of health services by medical personnel is a legal problem that must be addressed immediately. One way is through criminal threats for the perpetrators. In Law Number 36 of 2009 concerning Health, there have been many provisions regarding criminal sanctions for medical personnel who make mistakes in carrying out their health practices. This action must be assessed in terms of criminal law to impose sanctions on perpetrators who have committed malpractice. The research method used in this study uses a normative approach method. Normative research is legal research, carried out by examining library materials or secondary data as the necessary material to be studied by searching for the regulations and literature related to the problem under study. The approach to the problem used is the statutory approach. The results of this study answer that the types of malpractice committed by medical personnel are when in malpractice, in addition to actions that are considered negligence, some actions are included in the category of deliberate action and violating the law, the existence of an act, due to serious injury, the causal relationship between severe injuries and forms of action, the existence of forms of actions and the existence of consequences: wounds that cause disease; and injuries which prevent him from carrying out occupational work, or searching for a specified time. Malpractice that is done intentionally is a form of pure malpractice, including in criminal malpractice. Furthermore, the legal consequence of malpractice committed by medical personnel is the emergence of criminal liability for medical personnel as legal subjects which are closely related to proving someone's actions (medical personnel) to be included in the criminal malpractice category if the act fulfills the formulation of criminal offenses. Therefore, the imposition of criminal sanctions against medical personnel who commit malpractice can be punished. This research suggests that law enforcement officials should take an active role in handling malpractice cases in health services

Medical augmentees at Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command are responsible for the health and welfare of team members deployed to remote regions of the world to extract remains of lost service members. No method was in place to prepare these individuals for mission prior to arriving on Oahu and information needed to be available as an online resource and viewable on mobile hand-held devices so members could access information prior to and during deployment. The purpose of the instructional design project was to develop and evaluate a web-based instructional website designed to provide necessary medical and mission knowledge to medical augmentees. Fifteen current and former augmentees were asked to review the Aloha Augmentee website, evaluate the quality of content and make recommendations for improvement. Data were collected via online pre and post surveys. The results revealed that the website was viewed as successful with very positive qualitative feedback. Participants felt that the website could be even more effective with the addition of medical-grade photographs and more in-depth background about specific regional diagnoses. Feedback from participants will be used to improve the overall design and content of the website to better prepare future augmentees.
