Nedok Aleksandar S.

Summary

Aleksandar S. Nedok: Serbia's War with Austria-Hungary in 1914: The Work of the Serbian Military Medical Service

All that Serbia, with a population of about four million, could oppose to the empress with a population of 52,500,000 was 11 infantry divisions (6 of the first and 5 of the second call), one cavalry division and 60 battalions of the third call, still unrecovered from almost 100,000 dead or disabled, temporarily or permanently, first-class fighters from the recently ended Balkan wars and the cholera epidemic, and none of them were in full numerical condition.

The army lacked everything, from clothes and shoes for the second and third calls, to medical needs, about 100,000 umbilical cords, ammunition and other military material. As far as military health is concerned, little Serbia, even if it had the financial means and will, could not build a medical service and its infrastructure that would correspond to the size of its army in a mobile state 100 years after the uprising.

That is why it happened that in a fully mobilized state before the war in 1914, the military medical staff numbered only 409 doctors, among whom there were only 89 active officers, while there were 214 recruits. without rank (foreigners, doctors' wives, pharmacists and their assistants, medical students, veterinarians...).
