In summary, on occasions of jihad, women did not simply remain confined to their homes; rather, they rendered devoted and self-sacrificing services.

Hadith Commentary:

On the occasion of jihad, women did not simply remain confined to their homes, but rather rendered devoted and self-sacrificing services.

From this, it is also understood that in times of necessity, a non-mahram woman can treat a non-mahram man.

A jurisprudential principle is also derived from this hadith: that in view of necessities, there is some allowance for the use of otherwise prohibited things.

It should be noted that Muslim women would bring the wounded to Madinah so that they could be treated there; however, as for the slain, the command was to bury them at the place of death rather than bringing them back to Madinah.
And Allah knows best.
