During the program, the Vietnamese blue helmet doctors provided free medical examination and treatment, necessities and medicines to the locals.
Although the number of patients coming to the clinic exceeded the expectations of Vietnamese doctors and nurses, they were still dedicated and considerate, conducting a careful examination, and giving advice and medication to patients.
Lt. Col. Do Thi Hang Nga said the director of Bentiu General Hospital thanked the Vietnamese "blue helmet doctors" and the Vietnamese people in general for their feelings towards the South Sudanese people, and hoped that they carry out more practical volunteer works in the coming time.
The patients and residents of Bentiu also expressed their deep gratitude to the Vietnamese peace-keepers. They hope to see these doctors again in the near future.
