The east-central African country where the very first COVID-19 patients have detected recently features poor medical infrastructure and environment with a shortage of protective equipment while the abilities of the UN’s medical mission in the home country limit.

Besides, Vietnamese soldiers are working in the multi-national surroundings as UN’s staffs come and go relentlessly from other locations leading to high risks of transmission of Sars- CoV-2 virus.

According to Dr. Vo Van Hien, Director of Vietnam’s Level-2 Field Hospital No. 2, the medical facility has launched a mobile emergency team ready to perform sudden missions including CASEVAC (Casualty evacuation), MEDIVAC (Medical evacuation) and other missions.

The Vietnamese hospital in Sudan also takes on the mission of medical control including conducting medical checks at South Sudan’s Rubkona Airport to detect and handle infection cases avoiding larger contagion in the community.

Over the past months, Vietnamese blue beret soldiers also conducted a series of online training updates from the mission, organizations and prepared all possible scenarios to respond to the pandemic.

Despite poor internet connection, doctors and nurses in Vietnam’s field hospital still keep up with the training courses and follow strictly the COVID-19 preventive measures.

Vietnamese filed hospital level 2 number 3, which is newly established and focusing on training to get ready to replace BVDC2.2 in UN's peacekeeper mission still joined hands to the improvement and manufacture of anti-virus protective caps, which are lightweight, breathable, easy to use and absolutely safe.

The medical facility delivered over 1,000 caps to Military Hospital 175 earlier this month to reduce cross-transmission risk within the hospital.
