At the opening ceremony of the pre-deployment training course on Thursday, Deputy Minister of Defence Sen. Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chi Vinh spoke highly of the efforts put forth by the Defence Ministry’s agencies, especially the Vietnam Military Medical University and the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations (VDPO), in preparation for hospital No. 2.
He told the university and the VDPO to pay special attention to staff training and keeping close coordination with the hospital No.1 staff to exchange knowledge regarding preparations, deployment, and task implementation.
The pre-deployment training course is part of preparations for hospital No.2 to replace the first one performing UN peacekeeping tasks in South Sudan.
It is also meant to continue to affirm Vietnam’s role in joining UN peacekeeping operations for the sake of global peace and stability.
