We know that mountainous regions are regions characterized by rugged, high landforms and significant changes in elevation, often dominated by steep slopes, cliffs, and high peaks. These areas are usually characterized by difficult geographical features such as narrow valleys, deep gorges and rocky surfaces. Providing specialized medical care in mountainous areas is of great importance due to geographical features and specific problems of remote areas. Since these areas are often located far from city centers, it is difficult for patients to quickly access and reach medical facilities. In addition, mountainous terrain can exacerbate injuries and illnesses, requiring the availability of medical professionals experienced in dealing with specific medical issues that may arise in this environment. The main purpose of this article is to study the specific problems faced in the provision of medical care to military battalions operating in mountainous areas. He examines the logistical, environmental, and health-related barriers that health professionals and military personnel face in these areas. Additionally, the paper aims to identify and discuss strategies and solutions used to overcome these challenges to ensure soldiers receive the best possible medical care when deployed in mountainous terrain.
