Relevance. The Airmobile Hospital (AMH) of the EMERCOM of Russia is part of the State Central Airmobile Rescue Team of the EMERCOM of Russia (the “Tsentrospas” squad) and is always ready to eliminate medical and sanitary consequences of various emergencies in Russia and other countries. However, there are very few publications on its tasks, structure, main divisions, equipment, deployment options and features of work when mitigating health consequences of emergencies. In this regard, a number of publications are planned to consistently reflect the tasks and main tactical and technical characteristics (report 1), experience of the EMERCOM of Russia AMH in Russia (report 2), in foreign countries (report 3), as well as when mitigating consequences of some most significant emergencies (report 4). Intention: To summarize and analyze the tasks, types of medical care, staff structure, equipment, features of the deployment and functioning of the EMERCOM of Russia AMH when mitigating medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies. Methodology. There were analyzed regulatory documents, staff, reports on the work of the EMERCOM of Russia AMH for the period from 17.04.1996 to 01.01.2021. Results and Discussion. The tasks, structure, main types of medical care and options for deploying an airmobile hospital of the Russian EMERCOM, as well as information on its equipment are given. It is shown that the AMH operation in the field can be organized via two main deployment options for 50 and 100 beds. Information is provided on the licensed activities of the airmobile hospital and the features of its functioning as well as engineering and technical support. Conclusion. These data are an important basis for improving the activities of field mobile medical units of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the EMERCOM of Russia, the Armed Forces of Russia intended for mitigating medical and sanitary consequences of emergencies.
