South African Military Health Service (SAMHS)

About SAMHS

To ensure a healthy military community we need to provide a comprehensive, excellent and self-supporting multidisciplinary military health service, which ensures a healthy military community.

Why a Military Health Service?

Internationally it is standard principle that members of a defence force who risk physical psychological and social exposure, injuries, disablement or death in service of their country, can depend on a dedicated health service that is guaranteed, comprehensive, available anywhere at all times, and thus supportive.

This international norm places a moral obligation on a country to guarantee provision on its defence force for a military health service that renders continuous operational health support. Thus the SANDF needs a health capability that is trained in and interlinked with the doctrine of combatant forces.
