The Military Health Service Honor Medal

The Military Health Service honour medal (or “Médaille d’honneur du service de santé des armées”) is a French decoration created 30 August 1962.

The medal recognizes individuals who have contributed or lent their support to the French Defence Health service and were particularly marked by their services or their dedication. It is presented in four different levels: gold, vermeil, silver, and bronze. It may be awarded to members of the military as well as civilians.

The four levels are awarded under the following conditions:

  • Bronze Medal for 10 years service;
  • Silver Medal for 15 years of service and the Bronze Medal
  • Vermeil Medal for 20 years of service and the Silver Medal;
  • Gold Medal which is awarded only in exceptional cases.

On the occasion of exceptional circumstances, especially during epidemic periods, nominations could be made for people that do not meet the length of service conditions.
