At meetings, the two sides discussed professional issues, shared information about the latest trauma and orthopedics therapies, and agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in treating patients with trauma and supporting Military Hospital 175 to develop a trauma and orthopedics hospital with 500 beds.

Professor Josten highly regarded the trauma treatment activities and orthopedic techniques at the Vietnamese military hospital as well as its modern medical facilities and equipment for trauma treatment and orthopedic techniques.

During the visit, the German trauma and orthopedic experts also participated in medical examinations and recuperation counseling for local patients with trauma, particularly those suffering from injuries or diseases related to the spine; they also held six short training courses sharing experiences in emergency triage and treatment of multi-trauma cases, vertebral failures, pelvic fractures and spinal cancers.
