It aims to share expertise and experience among relevant parties so as to make a plan on practical training with level-two field hospital equipment. That will help Vietnam stand ready to send its force to UN peacekeeping missions when requested.

VPC Director, Senior Colonel Hoang Kim Phung thanked the US and UK experts for their assistance and affirmed the importance of experience sharing to ensure practical training with level-two field hospital equipment.

At the exchange, participants were briefed upon Vietnam’s preparations for the level-two field hospital, the UK’s deployment of a field hospital at the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, and the goals of the level-two field hospital equipment practical training.

They also worked on logistics and administration works for the practical training, simulations to be used during the training, and the operation of the level-two field hospital at the practical training area.

The field hospital practical training is scheduled to be organized in September this year.
