The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States (AMSUS) held their annual meeting in Washington, D.C., in early December. Maj. Gen. Jimmie O. Keenan, deputy commanding general (operations), U.S. Army Medical Command, and chief, U.S. Army Nurse Corps, joined other senior leaders to discuss “Advancing Professionalism in Global Health.” The global efforts of Army Medicine, Keenan said, include care for military personnel and civilians, infectious disease research, humanitarian assistance, and disaster response. As examples, she pointed to the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s laboratory in Kenya, which allowed the global effort to get a jump start on testing in response to the spread of Ebola in Liberia and Sierra Leone. In addition in 2013, Keenan said, Army Medicine partnered with 69 other countries to help control infectious diseases, including respiratory infections, especially influenza; gastrointestinal infections; febrile illness syndromes such as dengue and malaria; antimicrobial resistance; and sexually transmitted infections.
