– The aim of the initiative was to train soldiers who would be assigned to provide medical support to the armed forces and public administration bodies in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic – says Captain Agnieszka Kozik of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec. – The training was attended by soldiers with medical education and those holding paramedic qualifications, assigned to provide medical support.
