[Military medicine from the aspect of medical informatics]

The aggression and the war that has been imposed on Bosnia and Herzegovina is an excellent confirmation for the necessity of information as a resource of today. To be more specific, the information became a resource more important than the material or the energy, since it was exactly through the freedom of the information system and communications that the aggressor has managed to maximally engage and use all the other resources, and to considerably block our own and put it out of function. The health system, as the most important social system after the Defence Forces and the state authorities, had to create its own information system immediately at the beginning of the war and put it into function of health protection of the population in general, and at the disposal of the BH Army soldiers. On the other hand the indicators of the aggression level and all of its negative attributes (killed soldiers, murdered or injured civilians, mode, character and the level of brutality during injuring the victims and the like) are significantly repercussioned towards ours, the aggressors' and the foreign media and the structures from which depends further outcome of the war. And, finally, all the actions within the system of health activities, from offering healts protection, through the application of methods, techniques, technologies, resources, medicaments etc, also have its educative quality and value, furthermore, since the war which still lasts on these grounds, according to its character and specificity, has been so far unregistered in human history of the world.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
