This is the first time a Vietnamese hospital’s spring festival has been held during a UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan.

Hiroko Hirahara stated that she was touched and excited to be immersed in the festive mood of Vietnamese Tet.

She also expressed gratitude to the employees of the Vietnamese level-2 field hospital No. 4 for creating a welcoming spring atmosphere on the facility’s modest site.
