Abstract. The correct organization of medical assistance af- ter the occurrence of a major disaster is very important for saving the lives of the victims. Earthquakes are natural phe- nomena/disasters in which there are many victims. The timely provision of medical assistance to the injured is an important element of their service. It is good to divide them into types of injuries and severity of injuries. Thus, the medical teams will be prepared for how many people need outpatient treatment and how many need hospital treatment. Rapid distribution of victims to hospitals according to their injuries can reduce the number of deaths and people with serious consequences. In this article, we present a breakdown of the injured by hospitals and medical facilities near the earthquake site. The type of injuries and the capacity and equipment of hospital facilities are taken into account.
