Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
The Military Medical Research Center (CCSMM) is a health research unit, subordinated to the Medical Directorate of the Ministry of National Defence. The overall objective is represented by conducting researches on the medical protection against weapons of mass destruction (ADM) that use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents, on the accidents involving CBRN agents and on the military-medical expertise in the field. The CCSMM specialists develop methods and techniques for diagnosis, prophylaxis, treatment and recovery to optimize medical countermeasures during peace, war, or crisis situations. The activity is complementary to the one carried by the “Cantacuzino” National Military-Medical Institute for Research and Development which deals with the diagnosis of infectious diseases (microbiology and epidemiology) and the production of reagents and biological medicinal products for infectious diseases. In conclusion, CCSMM is a unique healthcare unit nationwide, by its field of activity, having a tradition of over half a century, during which it has formed specialists and has had outstanding achievements in the medical protection against CBRN weapons and agents. There are prerequisites for the further development and visibility of the institution.
