GLOBAL HEALTH ENGAGEMENTS ENHANCE READINESS Fantastic opportunity to partner with Africa to foster medical training. US Military medical professionals from the U.S. joint force and 17 African nations recently attended a concept development event hosted by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa in Vicenza, Italy. This event was to develop global health engagements and medical readiness exercises (MEDREX) for the future.  A MEDREX is an event planned by the U.S. Army task force that enables military health professionals from the U.S. and partner forces to exchange medical practices, procedures, and techniques that will enhance treatment capabilities. In addition to building capabilities, the goal is to build lasting relationships between participants.  The U.S. Army task force plans to conduct eight MEDREX events throughout fiscal year 2025. Host nations include Angola, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Chad, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, and Zambia. https://lnkd.in/gHJAYeMX Military Health System Defense Health Agency AMSUS - The Society of Federal Health Professionals #readiness #GHE #globalpartnerships #medrex #meded #militarymedicine

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
