It aims to strengthen the capabilities of 24 AFP hospitals and MTFs nationwide.

The MMCF will provide free training for officers, doctors and staff of AFP MTFs; share its technical resources and open its hospital facilities for the learning exchange sessions.

The MMCF will also help develop strategic operational plans for policy reforms, systems development and human resource development for the AFP MTFs.

A pool of trainers from the AFP Health Service Command and MTFs will echo the training, interventions and lessons learned to other hospital staff from the Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force and Philippine Navy.

Included in the program is the monitoring of results and evaluation of activities to further enhance the military’s health services.

The partnership between the AFP and MMCF serves as an efficient and effective tool to better deliver quality health care services to soldiers, civilian employees and their dependents.

The AFP extends its gratitude to its partners in the private sector, particularly the MMCF for continuously recognizing the sacrifices of our soldiers by providing assistance in the military’s medical services. AFP PAO / MCAG
