Central Medical Services

Central Medical Services

Central Medical Services is the English translation of the German "Zentraler Sanitätsdienst" (in short: "Sanitätsdienst") which is the term for the medical services of the German armed forces. Medical professionals in the German forces are part of a central command common to all the various branches rather than commissioned or appointed to serve as a member of any one of them, in contrast systems employed in most other nations, in which medical personnel are assigned to the various branches (Army, Navy, etc.). This system is considered by the German government to be more efficient as the duties of the medical services personnel are seen as being as primarily medical rather than primarily military in nature.

17,690

Structure

Just like the other branches of the German Armed Forces, the Central Medical Service is divided into two divisions, one administrating the operative units whilst the other is in charge of schools and facilities. Furthermore, the area of responsibility is divided into four Medical Regions, each commanded by a central authority and identical to the four Wehrbereichkommandos (Defence District Commands) of the Armed Forces.
