HANOI, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam's first field hospital will join the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in South Sudan early next year, the Vietnam Peacekeeping Center said on Wednesday.
A total of 69 soldiers and officers of the field hospital have undergone practical training with the assistance of foreign experts, so that they can improve their capacity of deploying, operating, managing, commanding and handling medical situations.
Since 2014, Vietnam has sent 19 officers to the UN peacekeeping missions in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
