FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila – The Philippine Army showcased its surgery truck and other latest medical assets in a static display held at the Hunters ROTC Parade Grounds, Fort Bonifacio, Metro Manila on March 21, 2022.

Army Chief Nurse Col. Maria Victoria Juan said the highly deployable surgery trucks were conceptualized after a review of operational gaps in the Marawi Siege. “These trucks and assigned medical teams can perform resuscitation care, patient stabilization, package casualty for evacuation, and damage control surgery,” Col. Juan said. The surgical trucks, which are modified KM250, will be operated by the forward medical companies of Army Divisions, she added.

The Office of the Army Chief Surgeon, Office of the Army Chief Nurse, and the Office of the Army Chief Dental Surgeon showcased the latest medical and dental equipment and capabilities of the Army during the event.

Commanding General, Philippine Army (CGPA) Lt. Gen. Romeo S. Brawner, Jr., in his command guidance, has vowed to prioritize the physical and mental health of soldiers, the Army’s most important resource.
