Medical and safety incidents reported across Vietnam

Various medical cases and safety incidents have been reported across different provinces in Vietnam. In Can Tho, Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital successfully treated an 11-year-old boy for supraventricular tachycardia using 3D electrophysiological mapping technology, which allowed for precise intervention and reduced X-ray exposure.

In Quang Ngai, 15 people were hospitalized due to suspected food poisoning from bread. Authorities are investigating two vendors in Dong Son commune that sourced butter and sauce from a single facility in Tinh Khe. This follows a previous incident in the province where a vendor was fined over 85 million VND for microbial contamination in bread.

In Phu Tho, the Pediatric Hospital reported several cases of severe traumatic brain injuries in children resulting from domestic accidents and traffic, including a 13-year-old with a large hematoma. Additionally, a 35-year-old male in Thanh Son suffered widespread skin fungal infections due to the improper, intermittent use of topical corticosteroid creams.

In Hanoi, doctors at the Oncology Hospital performed a complex surgery on a 55-year-old man with oral cavity cancer. The patient had previously misdiagnosed a small lesion as benign, leading to significant progression of the disease.
