He urged the group to well perform the role of "ambassador" of peace and friendship, contributing to raising the prestige and international position of the country and the Việt Nam People's Army globally.

Australia again provided the transportation for the Vietnamese officers to the mission with the Royal Navy's Boeing C-17 Globemaster III.

The hospital was launched in November 2021 with 63 official members, including 12 female soldiers. 

It was deployed to replace the Rotation 3 of Việt Nam’s Level-2 Field Hospital in South Sudan.

The hospital will focus on applying science and technology in medical examination and treatment, thereby learning from experience to work on research scientific work, and continue preventing and controlling diseases in the harsh environment.
