Legislation has been proposed to improve military medical care in the Indo-Pacific. The bill would allow all United States Department of Defense personnel in the region to access foreign medical facilities during peacetime and wartime operations. This would address staffing shortages and limited specialty services at some military hospitals, like the Naval Hospital Okinawa, Japan. The program would be modeled after a similar initiative in South Korea, where the U.S. has agreements with over 40 hospitals to provide quality care for troops. The proposed bill also mandates a medical readiness strategy for the Indo-Pacific to improve access and quality of care for service members, families, and DoD civilians overseas. According to sponsor Sen. Tammy Duckworth, this is critical to address challenges that harm military readiness. Let's support our troops and ensure they have access to the best possible medical care. #MilitaryHealth #OverseasCare #IndoPacific #NationalDefense #MilitaryReadiness
