VTV.vn - Staff members of Level-2 Field Hospital No.2, who had finished their tenure in South Sudan, paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh during a ceremony held at his mausoleum in Hanoi on June 29.

The ceremony was chaired by Major General Hoang Kim Phung, Director of the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations.

The delegates also offered incense and laid wreath at the Monument to Heroes and Fallen Soldiers.

Staff members of the hospital left Hanoi in November 2019 to take the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in South Sudan for a year. But due to COVID-19 pandemic, their work was nearly five months longer.

During their tenure, they provided treatment for nearly 2,000 patients who were UN employees and local people, performed 28 surgeries and safely transferred 11 patients by air.

Vietnam’s peacekeeping initiatives have been commended by the UN and international friends, contributing to affirming its position and prestige in the region and the world.

Although Vietnam is quite new to peacekeeping missions, the country has made a positive impression on the international community, the UN, and the missions in South Sudan and the Central Africa Republic.
