Deputy Defense Minister Sen. Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chi Vinh spoke highly of efforts by units of the Defense Ministry, the Viet Nam Department of Peacekeeping Operations and Central Military Hospital 175 in readying the field hospital, especially in terms of personnel, for replacing Level-2 Field Hospital No. 2 which is performing duties at the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan.
