Abstract:
During the period of December 2004 to July 2005,we were deployed to the Untied Nations mission in Liberia(UNMIL) of the West Africa.At that time,some civilian officers of UNMIL advocated an intention that is called "army-civilian joint together to establish a new complex peacekeeping hospital" and unrealistically expected to implement "a visualized show" in Chinese level Ⅱ hospital.According to the principle of the Memorandum Understanding and the medical standard operating procedure of United Nations,we kept avoiding the contravention of the military medical support rules of UNMIL effectively with the strategy of prevention,treatment,and education for the local civilians,such as distributing medicine for epidemic prevention to the multinational troops,assisting the international volunteer hospital,performing "Life and limb" surgery on civilians,and training the local medical personnel.We settled the awkward question of what is the best to help the local people during the peacekeeping mission.It is necessary to seriously study this great dilemma and summarize our practice in offering medical support to the host country people during the peacekeeping mission,which will promote the development of Chinese PLA peacekeeping operation.
