Vietnamese field hospital, MSF save lives in South Sudan

Staff members of Vietnam's third level-two field hospital at the United Nations Mission in South Sudan have recently assisted doctors at a hospital run by the Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders in conducting a successful caesarean section for a mother with severe kyphosis.

Vietnamese doctors in South Sudan started 2022 with a special mission. They helped a pregnant woman with Pott’s disease have a healthy baby. She had been pregnant for 35 weeks and suffered fetus distress.

The team fulfiled the mission despite a lack of proper medical equipment. A healthy four kg baby boy was born thanks to cooperation by doctors.

The UNMISS Chief Medical Officer sent a letter to acknowledge the contribution of Vietnam's level-two field hospital No. 3, asking the facility to continue assisting the MSF hospital in other surgeries./.
