Organization and activities of the evacuation hospital no. 1614 during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945

In the article, based on archival records, memoirs and documents, periodical materials, as well as scientific literature, we tried to highlight the organization in the Dagestan ASSR of one of the largest evacuation hospitals of the People’s Commissariat of Health of the USSR No. 1614 during the Great Patriotic War, which received frontline status as the front line advanced to the borders of Dagestan in 1942 and the unfolding battle for The Caucasus. The selfless and heroic work of doctors and medical staff of the evacuation hospital to provide uninterrupted qualified medical care to wounded soldiers and officers of the Soviet Army is characterized. The weighty assistance of the leadership of the DASSR, the Ministry of Health of the Republic in organizing the hospital, as well as the residents of Dagestan, who surrounded their defenders with attention and organized a patriotic initiative in the form of fundraising for the Republican Committee for Assistance to Wounded and Sick Soldiers, is considered.
