Özet:

The 5th Army troops established to counter the Allied States who wanted to conquer Istanbul by forcing the straits from the land and the sea were transferred to the region as a requirement of the Gallipoli Wars during the First World War. Bed numbers of the hospitals in the region were increased. The first intervention to the soldiers was made at the military positions and those whose situations were good were sent to the front and those whose condition was serious were sent to the battalion areas where wounds were taken care of. Although the specified period of time to move a soldier injured at the front to the local hospital or Istanbul was forty-eight hours, this duration was sometimes prolonged when the battle was intense. The vaccination was paid great importance to prevent from cholera, thyhoid fever and smallpox which broke out frequently in the region. The diseases such as thyphus, tuberculosis, pneumonia, pleurosis were also encountered. On the other hand, there was almost no pharmaceutical industry in the country. Most of the pharmaceuticals was received from foreign countries. Even the lack of iodine arose just at the start of the war. Other than those martyred and injured at the front, a large number of soldiers were martyred because of disease and inadequate equipment and operating conditions during the Gallipoli wars. Besides, the total number of losses has been reported around 210.000-218.000 including the martyred, injured, missing, captives, those sent for climate change and hospitals and died of various diseases.
