With more than 2 tonnes of medicines, medical equipment and logistical facilities, Vietnamese experts are expected to stay in the country from June 4 to June 17.

Addressing a ceremony on June 3 to meet with the group members before going to Myanmar, Deputy Minister of Health Cao Minh Quang said that with experience in solving problems caused by natural disasters in Vietnam, these experts will provide Myanmar’s victims with the most effective services and treatments, adding that Vietnam is willing to send more experts if necessary.

This humanitarian action will further strengthen co-operative relations between the two countries, said Mr Quang.
