This is also an opportunity for officers and doctors of the Military Medical Department to exchange and share with doctors of the Royal Cambodian Army to improve the professional qualifications of the military medical sector of the two armies. Thereby, contributing to fostering the solidarity, friendship and special cooperation between the armies and people of Vietnam and Cambodia to develop more and more sustainably. Thereby, the medical team and doctors will promote to the highest level their qualities, capacity and responsibility to examine accurately, provide specific and practical advice to take care of the health of people in the Cambodian border area./.
