A Medical Tool as a key for NATO to develop Civil Military interaction.

Abstract

Bringing civilian and military closer is not easy due to difficulties in compatibility of the protection reflex from the first and partiality from the second. However the complexity of the current crisis doesn’t allow a unique solving actor anymore. Only the involvement of all the stakeholders of security, governance and development is potentially a solution. Comprehensive Approach is therefore the option recommended by all the international organizations, and in particular NATO. For that, it is essential to establish a climate of trust through concrete exchanges and civil-military networking. Many obstacles still remain but one of the domains where this interaction is the most obvious is the health domain where humanity is a common issue. This is the reason why NATO has decided to launch the project of developing a medical civil-military collaboration tool on the field. This is an important step towards NATO crisis Comprehensive Approach achievement.
