Summary. The aim of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the activities of emergency medical care during medical evacuation of victims in a mass road traffic accident (RTA) before and after the creation of the Unified Center for Emergency Medical Care (EMC) and Disaster Medicine (DM) using the example of the Belgorod Region.

Materials and methods of the study. Using simulation modeling, a virtual model of medical evacuation of victims from the accident site on the M-2 Crimea highway in the Ivnyansky district on the border with the Yakovlevsky district was developed. In the course of a series of experiments, the analysis and optimization of this model were carried out. The obtained data were systematized and statistically processed using the Student’s t-test for unrelated populations.

Results of the study and their analysis. As a result of the experiment, a natural and reliable decrease in the time for medical evacuation of patients was established from (105.8 ± 12.1) min – according to retrospective data to (43.2 ± 1.18) min – according to the model data. The results of the study showed a clear advantage of the functioning of the Unified Center for Emergency Medical Care and Medical Assistance to ensure timely and correct medical evacuation of victims in a mass accident.
