Available open source information on military medical services can be found through official government communication, international foundations,[9] academic publications,[10] news and social media, and - currently - an online database called "Worldwide Military Medicine", also known as the Almanac.[11] The Almanac comprises information provided to the publisher by each nation on their military medical services. Military medical services provide an important supporting function to a country's military forces, as well as being a component of a country's overall health system.[1] This has been emphasized by recent events such as the Ebola outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic. German military medical services comprise a total of approximately 18,000 military and 3,000 civilian posts, and five military hospitals.[50] Germany is one of a small number of nations with separate, detailed country profiles in the Almanac (air force, army, joint medical service, joint support and enabling service, and navy).
