[History of the Norwegian Military Medical Association].
The Norwegian Military Medical Association was founded in 1882 by a small group of army doctors. The principal aim of the Association was to establish a structured military medical corps with command functions. Furthermore, the newly founded group of active military doctors was intended to develop the medical knowledge and skills unique to this branch of medicine. In 1888 a military medical organization and command structure was finally accepted. The Association was very active for the first 25 years, printing articles and giving lectures on military medical subjects. After World War II the military medical service was organized in "HQ Defence Command Norway, Joint Medical Service". For many years to come this new organization took over some of the functions of the Military Medical Association. In 1952 the Association was accepted as a special branch of the Norwegian Medical Association. The Norwegian Military Medical Association is now active again, both as an organization and professionally. The number of members is increasing, and includes military doctors in active service as well as civilian doctors with an interest in military medicine.
