The book

PANO – Military Hospital 175 under the Ministry of National Defence on March 15th held a ceremony to receive the book, titled “Emergency War Surgery”, from war veteran Dr. Pham Van Huu, a representative of the website: quandany.com.

The 600-page book was compiled by more than 200 military doctors and top scientists of the US Armed Forces and published by the US Department of Defence. This is considered one of the best books about handling wounds in wartime.

With an aspiration to provide valuable medical information and experiences in the book to  Vietnamese military doctors, war veteran Dr. Pham Van Huu and his partners spent 11 months translating it into Vietnamese.

At the ceremony, the hospital’s Board of Directors promised to introduce the book to its medical staff, use it as teaching material, and study and apply experiences to saving disaster victims and providing healthcare for those on duty at sea and on islands.
