Description
A large goitre on a female Vietnamese patient in Le Loi hospital. It was subsequently successfully treated by members of an Australian civilian surgical team (see P05211.018). More than 450 civilian medical and surgical staff volunteered to work in hospitals in Vietnam to instruct and teach Vietnamese medical and paramedical personnel and provide medical aid to anyone who required it.
