The medical unit provides primary and emergency medical support for EULEX staff members.

The role of the EULEX medical unit became even more important after the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic. 

In addition to the physical well-being of its employees, EULEX also looks after their emotional and mental well-being.

The medical unit coordinates a peer support program within the mission, made up of 20 specially trained volunteers, who provide peer emotional support in critical situations.
