On November 25, 2014, the Defence Ministry issued a decision to establish the
level-2 field hospital with a 70-strong staff, a step to realise the Party and
State’s policy on joining the United Nations’ peacekeeping activities in the
field of humanitarian activities. Since then, the hospital’s staff have engaged
in intensive training in accordance with the UN’s standards.
Lieutenant Colonel Bui Duc Thanh, director of the level-2 field hospital,
affirmed that all staff members of the hospital have met the UN’s requirements
on both professional ethics and skills, and are ready for their mission.
Thanh said besides fulfilling the tasks set by the UN peacekeeping mission in
South Sudan, the hospital’s staffers also aim to serve as messengers of peace
from Vietnam and promote the country’s image.
Following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Vietnam’s deployment
of a field hospital to South Sudan in New York on September 26, UN
Under-Secretary-General for Field Support Atul Khare expressed his belief that
Vietnam will deploy a high-quality hospital that can effectively contribute to
the UN’s peacekeeping activities, and his hope for more contributions from
Vietnam to this important mission.-VNA
