The Navy's Expeditionary Medical Facility (EMF) Juliet conducted its first orthopedic surgical partnership mission with Honduran healthcare professionals at Hospital Escuela during a Global Health Engagement in the U.S. Southern Command area of operations, Aug. 14-18.
It was the first time that the Navy led an orthopedic surgical mission in Honduras, which provided the opportunity to enhance professional knowledge exchanges and strengthen Navy Medicine relationships and capabilities within a partner nation hospital.
Since 1993, SOUTHCOM and JTF-Bravo have organized and conducted Global Health Engagements throughout Central America and the Caribbean.
EMF-Juliet leadership is working to expand missions in the U.S. Southern Command area of operations and in September they will support another JTF-Bravo-sponsored mission that will focus on urology.
EMF-Juliet was established in September 2022.
NMFL provides oversight for 21 NMRTCs, logistics, and public health and dental services throughout the East and Gulf coasts, Cuba, Hawaii, Europe and the Middle East.
