Abstract
Abstract : United States military medical personnel have provided humanitarian medical care in Honduras for over 20 years. Despite the long and extensive history of US Military medical activities in Honduras, the opinion of host nation health officials regarding these activities is unknown. This exploratory survey of key national Honduran Public Health leaders' opinions seeks to determine the level of awareness of US military medical actions and commonly held beliefs regarding benefits and problems associated with these activities. Nine of eleven respondents reported awareness of US military sponsored health related activities. Commonly reported perceived benefits included medical care delivered to remote locations and support of vaccination programs. Opportunities to improve included: increasing central coordination of activities addressing language barriers, and improving communication with Honduran health care professionals.
