Host Nation Patient Liaison

Host Nation Patient Liaisons can:

• Help plan your transfer from a Military Treatment Facility to a Host Nation medical facility or from a Host Nation facility to a military medical facility by civilian ambulance or by your privately owned vehicle.
• Ease language barriers between the patient and Host Nation Providers and provide the patient with a copy of the U.S. Army Europe Medical Phrase Book.
• Talk to your Host Nation physician to get up-to-date information on your medical condition and treatment plan.
• Answer questions about treatment, environment of care, and follow-up care to the best of their knowledge, or when doctors are unavailable.
• Assess and interpret patient concerns to determine specific assistance needs.
• Conduct follow-up visits to assess treatment progress and/or plans for the patient's transfer to other hospitals or Military Treatment Facilities.
• Assist with the discharge of a patient from a Host Nation hospital.
• Provide local resources for medical supplies and pharmacies.
• Per request, accompany you on your first visit to a Host Nation provider.
