Overview

With the largest humanitarian undertaking ever made by Sweden, in 1950 volunteers rushed to help setting up the Swedish Red Cross Field Hospital in Busan. This was 69 years ago. Today the aging Swedish samaritans can testify how the Korean war became the start of new relations, new friendships, and lasting, strong bonds between Sweden and Korea.
