Receiving the medical equipment package from the US |
The package, the second to be received, with modern medical tools and equipment, including an anesthetic machine, an X-ray machine, a ventilator and a defibrillator, will partly help the level-2 field hospital to meet the UN-mandated criteria for a field hospital.
According to the hospital’s leadership, the hospital will practice and operate these machines to quickly master them, as they have done with the previous package.
As planned, this month, a UN mission will check comprehensively the operation of Vietnam’s level-two field hospital before allowing it to be deployed to the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan. At present, the hospital is improving its repository to better manage and use this equipment.
