U.S. Navy Cmdr. Francisco Kortman, center, an undersea medical officer assigned to Pacific Partnership 2026 (PP26), discusses undersea and hyperbaric medicine during a PP26 medical subject matter expert exchange at Hospital Angkatan Tentera Wilayah Kota Kinabalu in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, Sept. 4, 2026. Highlights of the visit included an undersea and hyperbaric medicine knowledge exchange and a tour of the hospital’s hyperbaric chamber. Exchanges such as these enable U.S., partner nations, and MAF healthcare professionals to share best practices, enhance emergency response capabilities, and strengthen regional health resilience. Now in its 22nd iteration, the Pacific Partnership series is the largest annual multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster management preparedness mission conducted in the region. Pacific Partnership works collaboratively with host and partner nations to enhance regional interoperability and disaster response capabilities, increase security in the region, and foster new and enduring friendships in the Indo-Pacific.
