In 1962 the Australian government was asked by the United States of America to supply Surgical and Medical Services to the people of South Vietnam. The Australian government deployed civilian surgical/medical teams to work in four provincial areas – Long Xuyen, Bien Hoa, Vung Tau and Ba Ria. In 1967, Royal Adelaide Hospital sent a team to Bien Hoa.
