The Main Directorate of Military Medicine (Arabic: الادارة الرئيسية للطبّ العسكري al-idārah ar-ra’īsīyah liṭ-ṭibb al-‘askarīyah) is an agency of the Palestinian government subordinate to the Ministry of Defence. It is tasked with providing medical support at all operational levels within the Palestinian Armed Forces, including training frontline medical staff, and operating triage, field hospitals, and surgical centres, as well as permanent facilities away from combat areas. All medical personnel attached to military units are trained and equipped by the directorate.
