Chief of Medical Corps Rear-Admiral (RADM) (Dr) Kang Wee Lee co-officiated at the opening ceremony of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) - Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) Joint Medical Mission, with the Director General of the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defence's Military Medicine Department, Major-General Vu Quoc Binh earlier today. The SAF-VPA Joint Medical Mission will be conducted from 15 to 18 April 2015 in Vinh Phuc province, Hanoi, Vietnam.

The SAF delegation, comprising 24 servicemen and women from the SAF Medical Corps, joined their Vietnamese counterparts from the VPA to provide primary healthcare, dental and ophthalmology services to the residents in Vinh Phuc province. As part of the programme, the SAF and the VPA are also conducting medical professional knowledge exchanges on Peace-Keeping Operations and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief Operations.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, RADM (Dr) Kang said that, "The SAF strongly values the opportunities for mutual learning and professional interactions in the domain of military medicine, and is pleased to work with the VPA for this Joint Medical Mission."

The SAF-VPA Joint Medical Mission underscores the warm and growing defence relations between Singapore and Vietnam. Both armed forces interact regularly through high-level visits, professional exchanges, cross-attendance of courses and port calls.
