Summary/Abstract: Armed conflicts are a companion of human civilization. In all wars, in addition to the participants in military operations, civilians also suffer. Wounded, sick and medical personnel are particularly sensitive categories. The protection of certain zones and facilities that have the purpose of protecting and helping the wounded and sick in an armed conflict should be distinguished from the protection of certain categories of persons. In the second half of the 19th century, the first codification of the rules of international humanitarian law was created with the establishment of the International Red Cross in Geneva in 1863. A number of international conventions regulating international humanitarian law were adopted very quickly. Military and civilian medical services enjoy special protection, regardless of which warring party they belong to. The work deals with the international legal protection of medical zones and facilities, the main purpose of which is to reduce the suffering of civilian and military wounded and sick people.
