This is the first edition of the exchange of military medical delegations in the framework of the two countries’ border defense friendship exchange.

In the past, the health check-up and treatment program was only held in either Vietnamese or Chinese border areas during the exchange. The program was truly effective and practical with thousands of border people having their health checked and treated in a timely manner, contributing to their improved health and living standards.
