Việt Nam’s Level-2 Field Hospital Rotation 6 (BVDC 2.6) carried out health screenings and CPR training for peacekeeping officers in South Sudan. The initiative aims to strengthen emergency medical preparedness among multinational forces stationed at the Unity Sector.

UNITY — Việt Nam’s Level-2 Field Hospital Rotation 6 (BVDC2.6) has conducted a series of health screenings and emergency medical training for United Nations peacekeeping personnel at the Unity Sector in South Sudan to enhance medical preparedness and ensure the well-being of deployed forces. 

According to hospital officials, the activities included routine health assessments and first aid training, focusing on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

The programme targeted individual officers and personnel from troop-contributing countries currently serving in the region.

Screenings were held at the hospital and covered vital sign monitoring, specialist clinical examinations, risk assessment of underlying conditions and health counselling.

Organisers said the initiative was designed to detect potential health issues early, especially under extreme weather and the stressful working environment in the war-torn African country.

Additionally, the hospital conducted first aid and CPR sessions, with participation from officers representing various nations. The training focused on common field emergencies such as soft tissue injuries, bone fractures, airway obstruction and standard chest compression and rescue breathing techniques.

Participants also practiced on models and simulated scenarios to improve emergency response coordination.

Director of BVDC 2.6 Trần Anh Đức said the training raises awareness of emergency care and provides essential skills for officers to protect themselves and their colleagues during operations.

Officers attending the sessions expressed satisfaction and praised the professionalism and dedication of the Vietnamese medical team. Some noted that practical training was especially valuable in the resource-limited conditions of the mission area.

BVDC 2.6 said the initiative highlights Việt Nam’s continued commitment to international peacekeeping efforts, reflecting humanitarian values and solidarity among nations in maintaining global peace and security. — VNS
