They are currently led by Sakura Uchiha .

## History [ ]

The Medic Corps are one of the four subdivisions of Konoha’s Organization System and one of the most important support systems, as they are in charge of healing and providing medical care to the entire population of the village. Unlike field medical-nin, they are divided or assigned to teams (医療班, Iryō-Han ) composed only of medical-nin from the hospital to move independently or to provide aid in special events such as the Chūnin Exams or recovery missions .

The personnel of the Medic Corps are divided by ranks, such as jōnin medical-nin that can perform highly skilled surgeries and techniques, and nurses. In emergency situations, they count with medical support. Inside their ranks, there are also ninja versed in the knowledge of veterinary medicine for the treatment of ninken. Hana Inuzuka is a veterinary medical-nin .

When a catastrophe happens in Konoha, the Medic Corps are in charge of healing the injured and support the shinobi. During Pain's Invasion, the medical-nin of the hospital was mobilized to threat the numerous victims. In this attack, the hospital was destroyed and rebuilt again.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War , Sakura Uchiha created new facilities inside the hospital and trained medical-nin to work among the Medic Corps to work inside these systems. A team of professionals of mental health are in charge of the Children's Therapy Center . During this time, Shizune represented the Medic Corps in Council meetings held by the Hokage and the Fire Daimyō .

When Naruto Uzumaki became Hokage , Sakura Uchiha was made the Head of the Medical Department and the Medic Corps are under her supervision as the director of Konoha Hospital . She is also a teacher of medical ninjutsu, in charge of training the next generation of field medical-nin or those that may want to pursue a more professional career and join the hospital ranks .
