SA Military Health ServiceInternationally it is a standard
principle that members of a defence force who risk physical, psychological
and social exposure, injuries, disablement or death in service
of their country, can depend on a dedicated health service that is
guaranteed, comprehensive, available anywhere at all times, and thus
supportive.This international norm places a normal obligation on a country
to guarantee provision in its defence force for a military health service that renders continuous operational health
support. Thus the SANDF needs a health capability that is trained in and
interlinked with the doctrine of combatant forces.

TRANSFORMATION CONTEXT
As a result of political and societal changes the DOD had to undergo similar fundamental transformation.
Transformation covers all aspects required to normalised the DOD’ to society’s new requirements. A key aspect
enabling the DOD to achieve transformation is re-engineering. The specific aim of the re-engineering effort
is to improve DOD process efficiency in order to sustainable and effectively deliver required outputs within
available budget and other policy constraints.
STRATEGI C OBJ ECTI VES
Provision of military health support to theSANDF
Regional and global military health co-operationand assistance
Provision of combat ready military health f orces Preservation of lif e, health and property Disaster relief operations Assistance in maintaining essential health services Support to other State departments and
institutions with regard to unique capabilities Formulation of expert inputs with reference to
policy and planning Health support to approved clientele Diplomatic assistance operations Maintenance of chemical and biological defence
capability* Military health research and development
STRUCTURAL CONCEPTThe MoD is an integrated organisation comprising all the elements that together form the departmental head office and highest military headquarters.Task Forces are force employment structures under task force commanders (TFC’s) as intermediate level commanders.A Type Formation is a structure composed such that it can execute an approved business plan to ensure the development of, and preparation of a specific “Type” grouping of combat ready user systems. As such a type formation includes, as far as is practicable, all units and support elements relating to a specific user system type. (The adopted principle includes a dedicated school and depot to each TF).Support Formations are intermediate level force support structures under (support) formation commanders, but similar to type and all other system structures.Units are combat units (such as artillery regiments, squadrons, ship or medical battalion groups) or support units (such as depots and schools)
The SAMHS -Fully participated in the re-engineering of the process and Contributed to the Design Workshop Report to couple structures to processes
SG and STAFFMain Responsibilities
The Surgeon General and staff ensure the provision of combat ready medical forces and operationally ready infrastructure, as well as the provision of health maintenance services for the DOD. It does this through developing a sound business plan and monitoring the performance of type formations.It furthermore develops and updates health policy for the DOD and participates in developing the overall DOD policy.Participate in formulation of national health policy as DOD representative on various statutory and national bodies.It ensures adherence to material and professional statutory health regulations on behalf of the DODThe Surgeon General is also the government’s specialist advisor wrt international conventions
SG and STAFFSystem Description
The SG and staff system makes available the medical service’s business plan to the policy and planning and finance divisions. The business plan is approved and an appropriate budget allocation is made.Guides all subordinate elements in developing and preparing Military Health Service, combat ready user systems and combat ready higher order user systems.As budgeting authority SG and staff distribute the allocated budget to the medical spending agencies on a basis of business plans provided by them.SG and staff then monitor the output of its spending agencies according to approved business plans and report to the accounting officer and the Chief of Policy and Planning on a regular basis on the performance of spending agencies according to plan. They also report to statutory bodies on adherence to statutory regulations.

TERTIARY HEALTH TYPE FORMATIONResponsibilities
Responsible for the development and maintenance of specialised medical and related services and professional staff. These services are provided to the DOD as a whole, as tertiary medical consultation services.During wartime Tertiary Health Type Formation Institutions could be turned into operational support centres (4th line). This formation provides hospitalisation services and offers all medical and related specialities in consultation.Deploy specialist services and advisory teams in combat through the specialist units.It carries a further responsibility of collateral application of facilities and services to approved beneficiaries in support of National or DOD strategy

This formation is only responsible for the professional aspects of health services provision. It thus ensures service provision through centralisation / decentralisation decisions, manages linkages between service delivery points and between those points and tertiary health formations.
AREA MILITARY HEALTH SERVICES TYPE FORMATIONResponsibilities
It will furthermore manage the availability of professional personnel and specific medical / health facilities in support of the common support base.
On request of J Ops
Provide elements to support forces deployed in borderline protection and assistance to SAPS
Provide operationally ready infrastructure user systems
MOBILE MEDICAL TYPE FORMATIONResponsibilities
The mobile type formation prepares and provides combat applicable medical forces for use in defence operations.It draws up business plans and determines readiness levels according to the force design and Government objectives.It reports to SG on readiness levels of medical forces It groups together statutory disciplines in medical battalion groupsIt evaluates operational doctrine and advises on required adaptations.It plans and provides for operational exercisesIt develops user systems by integrating personnel with mobile medical facilitiesIt ensures, develops and sustains chemical warfare countermeasures
The DOD should contribute to internal security, peace, stability and development. This should happen inter-actively with other state departments.
