During three training sessions, combining theory and hands-on practice, the Vietnamese instructors delivered content in line with professional procedures, ensuring clarity and practicality. As a result, trainees gained knowledge and skills in responding to emergency situations, particularly CPR techniques in peacekeeping environments where unexpected incidents frequently occur.
Brigadier General Zewdu Endris Yimer, Commander of the Unity Sector, highly praised the significance of this training program conducted by Vietnam’s L2FH Rotation 7.

Addressing the training sessions, the commander emphasized that at any time and in any location, every peacekeeper must know how to react when an incident occurs. The knowledge provided during the training could make the difference between saving a life or losing one. First-aid procedures may be simple, but without proper understanding or training, it can become extremely difficult to respond effectively in real emergencies. He stressed that such training and exercises should be held regularly.
Trainee Gregory George, a Canadian officer, shared, “The training was excellent. Participants were very engaged, and I believe everyone clearly understood the instructions provided. The content was practical, easy to grasp, and applicable to real situations. Thank you, Vietnamese friends.”

The instructor team of the Vietnamese hospital has also planned future specialized training programs and is preparing teaching materials for level-1 field hospitals stationed in the area.
Such a course has contributed to reinforcing the reputation, competence, and responsibility of the Vietnam’s field hospital, helping enhance coordination and ensure safety for forces participating in U.N. peacekeeping operations in the mission area.
