Marek Kozubal emphasizes the positive developments surrounding the Medical Legion initiated by the Polish Minister of Defense, which has gained considerable interest among medical personnel, with over 700 volunteers already stepping forward. This initiative is critical in addressing the current personnel shortage within the military healthcare services, which consists of approximately 880 medics while the ideal number should be around 1,600. The recruitment of these volunteers is seen as a significant step in reinforcing Poland's healthcare capabilities during times of crisis or war.

Furthermore, Kozubal expresses satisfaction that the volunteers from the Medical Legion will soon commence specialized training, which has been long overdue. He points out that there has been a delay of at least 12 years in preparing such an initiative since the rising threat from Russia began when it attempted to invade Ukraine. His remarks underscore a growing awareness among Polish decision-makers of the need to be prepared for potential threats posed by Vladimir Putin, advocating for readiness against various scenarios.

However, he also notes a significant shortfall in the preparation of medical personnel exercises that incorporate lessons learned from the ongoing conflict near the Dnieper River and Oskol. He emphasizes the necessity for well-structured training programs to ensure that personnel can effectively respond to the challenges presented by modern warfare, reiterating how essential it is for Poland to enhance its military medical capabilities during a time of escalating geopolitical tensions.
