Case Study: The Military Health System

1.1 Background of the study
The Military Health System is the enterprise within the department of defense that provides health care to active duty and retiredpersonnel and their dependents. (Best, Jr., Richard A. (2005-05-05). Its mission is to provide health support for the full range of military operations and sustain the health of all who are entrusted to MHS care.
Its primary mission is to maintain the health of military personnel, so they can carry out their military missions; and to deliver health care during wartime. Often described as the medical readiness mission, this effort involves medical testing and screening of recruits, emergency medical treatment of troops involved in hostilities, and the maintenance of physical standards of

It is critical to note that “the fundamental mission of the Military Health System, providing medical support to military operations, is different from that of any other health system in Liberia. This means that, in addition to considering the Triple Aim goals faced by all civilian health care systems—“better health, better care, lower cost”—the MHS is addressing a fourth aim, “increased readiness,” which requires additional complex strategies and tactics to achieve success(Milbank Q. 2015;93(2):263-300).
Limited healthcare financing through budgetary allotment or otherwise(user fees, fees for services), the basic health care delivery to the gallant men and women and their dependents of the AFL in the six different health facilities above cannot achieve its full potential and

Often described as the medical readiness mission, this effort involves medical testing and screening of recruits, emergency medical treatment of troops involved in hostilities, and the maintenance of physical standards of those in the armed services.
The military health system at AFL with its meager financing through budgetary allotment to cater for personnel and their dependents in adherence to the fourth goal-“increased readiness” is inequitable (AFL/MoD Medical Services situation brief 2016). In furtherance to effect of inadequate healthcare delivery at the Armed Forces of Liberia due to limited healthcare financing, out of 154 soldiers recruited 10% will die in a year due to malaria, renal failure, diabetes, accident, etc.
Health care delivery is undoubtedly an important factor for raising and maintaining the morale of troops in the Armed Forces of Liberia. Financing healthcare delivery in the Armed Forces of Liberia seriously constrains the effective administration of the hospital or clinic. As the financial pressure increases in, the debate on factors that account for the influence of the sourcing of finance becomes more central to Military
