Under the tree-planting movement, the youth union members planted a number of shade trees in the compound and around the hospital to create a green space. According to the hospital’s director Lieutenant Colonel Vo Van Hien, it is hard for a tree to grow in a temperature of over 40 Celsius degrees and it is even harder for them to grow green in such a climate. However, with the great efforts of the hospital’s staff since the staff arrived six months ago, the hospital has transformed the bare ground into a green oasis with vegetables, flowers and shade trees.

Besides making a green environment, the hospital has concentrated on improving the physical strength of its staff by holding different sports tournaments with the participation of the hospital workers, regardless of their age. The football-volleyball tourney was prepared professionally and took place successfully.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Quang Chien, Deputy Director of the hospital said that the hospital’s directorate has always supported and created favorable conditions for its staff to partake in sports programs.The activities boost solidarity among participants and strengthen their health.

The activities, in celebration of the second Congress of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations (VNDPKO) and the sixth  founding anniversary of the department (May 27, 2014-2020), have contributed to improving the material and physical spirit of the hospital staff while they are exerting efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
