The hospital is the first-ever independent unit of Vietnam to join UN peacekeeping operations. It will replace the second-level field hospital of the UK army in Bentiu, South Sudan, to provide medical care for staffers of the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan for one year. Early this month, the first group of the hospital, comprising 32 members, set off for the African nation.
