Previously, a special mission of the Vietnam People's Army, including 30 military medical officers and staff of Le Huu Trac National Burn Hospital, Military Hospital 103, Military Hospital 354 and Military Hospital 105, participated in supporting the mitigation of earthquake consequences in Turkey. Overcoming difficulties in the field, they were quickly organized into mobile medical teams to join hands with relevant forces to search for and to provide aid and treatment for people in affected areas. The medical teams were highly appreciated for their sense of responsibility, activeness, and professionalism from international friends.

An overview of the meeting

Speaking at the meeting, Lieutenant General Do Van Thien highlighted the contribution of the medical teams and suggested that units of the General Department of Logistics continue to create conditions for the comrades participating in the mission to rest and recover, and coordinate with relevant authorities to evaluate the mission and draw experience for the whole military.

This is also a good opportunity for the unit to have a vivid practical basis to continue to improve the theory of the organization and operation of military medical activities in response to non-traditional security challenges in the coming time.
