NSDF Oegwa Uisa (외과 의사, English:Surgeon) is the first purpose-built hopsital ship in the East Asian Federation Naval Self-Defense Force. In compliance with the second Geneva Convention, chapter 3, the Oegwa Uisa is not equipped with armament, and its crew does not carry ordinance of any kind. As such, a combatant firing upon the Oegwa Uisa is a war crime. The Oegwa Uisa is considered the world's most advanced hospital ship. Its capabilities rival, and in some cases exceed, the capabilities of a traditional land-based hospital, and is used for the treatment of wounded soldiers, allies and enemies alike, in combat.
Characteristics
The Oegwa Uisa utilizes the latest in medical technology to heal wounded frontline soldiers as fast as possible to return them to combat operations, or send them to a homeland hospital for further rehabilitation.
The main means of patient transport to the Oegwa Uisa is by military helicopter airlift. The ship has three deck-level helicopter pads, and one specially equipped Surion utility helicopter to serve as a permanent air ambulance for critically wounded patients. After arrival to the ship, patients are routed to the relevant care department of the ship for their wounds. The ship has 13 departments:
- Reception and Transport
- Intensive Care Unit
- Main Surgery
- Secondary Surgery
- Recovery
- Supply & Pharmaceutical
- Radiology
- Optometry
- Dental Care
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology
- Flight Control and Support
- Desalinization & Oxygen Production
- Medical Support
