Australia again provided the transportation for the Vietnamese officers.
The hospital was launched in November last year with 63 official members, including 12 female soldiers. It was deployed to replace Level-2 Field Hospital No.3 in an UN mission in South Sudan.
The hospital will focus on applying science and technology to medical examination and treatment, and continue to prevent and control diseases in the harsh environment.
