Apart from the consignment of ammunition and boarding of soldiers, another outstanding issue at the battles was medical service in the field. Initially, medical services at the front were provided by the Akbaş, Ağadere and Çanakkale Central Hospitals, and medics and stretchers helped to carry the wounded. Following first aid to patients in the field, a tag was hung around their necks showing their current medical status. Depending on the severity of their conditions, the wounded soldiers were referred either to the hospital for the seriously wounded or to the hospital for the slightly wounded. The soldiers who could not be treated at these hospitals were transported by the boats of the Şirket-i Hayriye Transportation Corporation from the referral hospitals of Ağadere and Akbaş to Istanbul and other major cities.
The battles were extremely bloody especially due to naval and aerial bombardment, and the hospitals were far over capacity. Along with the hospitals of the 5th Army, the hospitals of the Ottoman Red Crescent Association also provided medical services to the wounded.
The Ağadere Mobile Hospital for the Seriously Wounded located on the right of the road approximately 1 km after the Çamburnu Castle on the road from Eceabat to Kilitbahir functioned effectively during the battles. The referral hospital of the 9th Division, mobile hospital of the 4th Division, and the mobile hospitals of the Army Corps were all based in Ağadere.
