Around the world, surgical training doesn't include war surgery techniques such as how to deal with injuries from war rifle bullets and blasts. This means surgeons are not equipped to deal with war wounds and infections. The International Committee of the Red Cross sends war surgeons to where they are needed but also provides war surgery training to national staff. Since 1989 and the first training in Somalia, the ICRC has held more than 300 war surgery courses worldwide.
