Senior military medical authorities of NATO member countries are meeting
at NATO Headquarters for the 20th plenary session of the Committee of the
Chiefs of Military Medical Services in NATO, 22 to 24 October.
The Committee is responsible for the coordination of military medical
cooperation among NATO member countries, with the goal of promoting standardisation
and interoperability in the medical field.
As new NATO missions and concepts of operations place increased emphasis
on joint military operations, enhancing the importance of coordination
of medical support in peacekeeping, disaster relief and humanitarian
operations is key.
The plenary session will review the work accomplished in the past year
and set priorities for the months ahead. Topics to be addressed include
medical aspects of new threats, such as weapons of mass destruction.
The session will also look to reviewing the structure and mandate of
NATO’s medical working groups.
