The United States Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Unit (USNMRTU) Chinhae Staff and Republic of Korea (ROK) Medical Forces successfully concluded the 2023 ROK-US Naval Medical Cooperation Conference at the Maritime Medical Center in Jinhae, South Korea on November 2.
This conference was to promote cooperation and interoperability between Republic of Korea operational medical forces and medical staff with U.S. Navy operational medical forces and medical staff. This collaboration is vital for working together as allies to project medical power within the area of responsibility.

Blair Hines. “We are committed to building a strong alliance in the field of naval medicine these relationships are crucial to achieving shared objectives and maintaining medical readiness for our Joint Forces.”
