The SanABw was the successor institution of the Military Medical Office and was created on February 1, 1965 due to the reorganization required due to increasing tasks.

As a command authority, it was most recently responsible for basic medical and health matters in the armed forces and reported directly to the inspector of the medical service .

The Institute for Military Medical Statistics and Reporting was created from Department II of the Military Medical Office, and Department III became the Institute for Military Medicine and Hygiene . The Institute for Defense Pharmacy and Food Chemistry emerged from the chemical investigation center in the former Defense Division VI . The three institutions were just as the Academy of Medical and Health of the German Armed Forces and the central hospital of the armed forces report directly to the medical office. In January 1968, the Bundeswehr hospitals and the medical, chemical and veterinary examination centers were placed under subordination. In 1970, all medical facilities with a central mandate were combined as the Central Medical Services of the Bundeswehr (ZSanDBw), the central hospital to the Bundeswehr Central Hospital in Koblenz and the military hospitals of the Bundeswehr were reclassified into Bundeswehr hospitals and remained subordinate to the Medical Office as such; likewise the former investigation centers renamed the Central Institutes of the Medical Service of the Bundeswehr .

In 1971, the office moved from the former premises of the Armed Forces Office, except for Department IV, to the property on Platanenweg in Bonn-Beuel.

With the restructuring of the Federal Armed Forces, the former Central Medical Services of the Federal Armed Forces (ZSanDBw) were restructured into the independent military organizational area of ​​the Central Medical Service of the Federal Armed Forces . In this context, the organizational position of the Bundeswehr Medical Office was redefined. As part of the restructuring, the medical office moved to Dachauer Strasse in Munich on October 1, 2001 and finally on July 1, 2002 . Along with these measures, the agency received a new coat of arms, the striking part of which is the nearby Olympic tower .

The medical office of the Bundeswehr organized the medical service in the Bundeswehr together with the medical command command in Koblenz . Both institutions were subordinate to the management staff of the medical service in the Federal Ministry of Defense . The Bundeswehr Medical Office was responsible for the technical organization of the medical service. Here the technical framework conditions for an efficient medical service were developed. In addition, the sanitary department had also taken on monitoring tasks in accordance with the infection control (IfSG), medical products (MPG), animal welfare (TSchG), pharmaceuticals and the food, consumer goods and feed code (LFBG).

The Bundeswehr Medical Office had around 500 military and civilian employees. In addition to the staff departments, ten specialist departments with various key tasks were subordinate to the administration . The office had its own headquarters for support tasks . Parts of the Bundeswehr medical office were deployed.
