[The organization of the treatment of the wounded and sick prisoners of war in hospitals at the rear in the USSR during World War II].

The international humane principles were strictly observed by medical workers of our country in providing medical care to the wounded and sick PW during the Great Patriotic war. By February 1, 1945 from the whole number of 671340 beds which were deployed in the hospital system of the strategic rear, several hospitals with the total number of 47770 beds were used for providing medical care to the wounded and sick PW. These hospitals were capable to provide all type of secondary and tertiary care. Medical workers of these hospitals were also accomplishing the missions on sanitary-epidemiological welfare of PW. The detailed studies of the system of medical care in PW hospitals in the region of Middle Volga basin have prove this fact.
