The primary mission of
the Medical Department is to maintain the health of
the officers and men embarked. Through daily routine and
emergency visits, up to 1,000 sick call visits are registered
monthly. A 10-bed ward is available, and fully qualified
technicians provide laboratory, X-ray and electrocardiographic
services. A pharmacy technician dispenses 700-800
prescriptions each month from among 200 different drug items in
stock.
All personnel in the Medical Department are trained to provide any
service needed in time of emergency.
An important function of Medical and Dental is conducting an
extensive preventive medicine program through lectures to all hands. |
