Military Health capabilities have shaped global health through the provision of exceptional humanitarian assistance, disaster relief and research for almost a century. Additionally, the unique characteristics and complexity of the provision of health support to military operations has advanced knowledge in areas such as trauma, tropical medicine and infectious diseases and others. Join us in Australia in 2024 to showcase the successes of military medicine shaping global health and discuss how we might continue to improve our engagement with partners to maximise the contributions of all participants in enhancing global health. |
