General Chowdhury highly appreciated the way that Vietnam's L2FH Rotation 2 has performed its tasks, including developing plans and comprehensively implementing anti-pandemic measures, actively participating in training activities for UN military units and staff in Bentiu, regularly maintaining online training activities to update the latest guidance from the U.N health agency, and sharing valuable experience in COVID-19 prevention and control.

Particularly, despite difficulties and challenges, the Vietnamese L2FH Rotation 2 has still provided medical supplies for the L2FH Rotation 1 and local health facilities. In addition, the hospital has also actively participated in mass mobilization activities, strengthened military-civilian ties, and joined hands to protect the environment and reduce plastic waste in the area.

The achievements of the Vietnamese L2FH Rotation 2 have been recognized by UNMISS agencies and the UN, thus leaving a deep impression on international friends.

The UN delegation visited the hospital's relevant departments and encouraged all doctors and other medical workers to continue making efforts to complete their UN peacekeeping mission. Because of the complicated development of COVID-19, the local government must limit inbound and outbound flights, so most of the hospital staff cannot return to their home as expected.

On behalf of the L2FH Rotation 2, its Director, Lieutenant Colonel Vo Van Hien, expressed his appreciation for the delegation's visit during the complicated COVID-19 situation and security conditions in Bentiu.

At the event, Lt. Col., Dr. Nguyen Quang Chien, Deputy Director in charge of the hospital's professional expertise, also informed the delegation of the hospital's activities and achievements in more than a year of implementing the mission in Bentiu.

"The Vietnam's L2FH Rotation 2 has proven its excellent ability to take care of the UN staff's health, especially troops in military units in Bentiu," the Deputy Commander said.

He also hoped that the Vietnamese hospital will continue to promote its good results and impressions over the past time to make more contributions to the UNMISS.
