The Committee of the Chiefs of Military Medical Services in NATO (COMEDS) is the senior committee for medical care within the Organization. It acts as the central point for the development and coordination of military medical matters and for providing medical advice to the NATO Military Committee.

COMEDS was established in 1994 when the need for coordinating medical support in peacekeeping, disaster relief and humanitarian operations became vital for NATO. It aims to improve coordination, standardization, and interoperability in the medical field and the exchange of information between NATO and partner countries while developing new concepts of medical support for operations, with emphasis on multinational health care, modularity of medical treatment facilities and partnerships. The COMEDS is NATO's senior body on military health matters that meets biannually in plenary session with representatives from NATO and partner countries.
