Medical treatment during spaceflight

Medical treatment during spaceflight is when astronauts on a mission in space receive medical help while they are away from Earth. Astronauts and spacecrafts have special medical supplies and medical teams who monitor the astronauts' health and provide medical assistance if needed. An important part of this medical assistance is making sure that the astronauts are healthy enough to handle the physical and psychological stresses of the mission. Medical teams will also make sure that any medical conditions they have, like allergies or diabetes, are managed while they are in space. Astronauts must have regular check-ups and be in top physical condition to go to space.
