The Military Nursing Service (MNS) plays a crucial role in the Indian Armed Forces, operating under the Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS). The MNS has a storied history dating back to its origins as the Army Nursing Service, formed in 1888 during British rule. It evolved into the Indian Military Nursing Service (IMNS) in 1926 and was later renamed the Military Nursing Service in 1943.
As a vital component of AFMS, the MNS is dedicated to providing nursing care to soldiers and their families, upholding its long-standing tradition of excellence in military healthcare.
