Vietnamese teacher injured during student rescue

Overview

On August 28, Hoang Thi Hien, a 32-year-old preschool teacher at Phu Son Kindergarten in Nghe An province, was severely injured while shielding a two-year-old student from an oncoming truck. Ms. Hien was struck in both legs and transferred to Viet Duc University Hospital in Hanoi for intensive treatment. Due to complex crushing injuries and necrosis, doctors were forced to amputate her right leg above the knee to save her life, while her left leg remains under medical care.

In response to her actions, the Ministry of Education and Training and local officials provided recognition and financial assistance. Following a three-day fundraising appeal by the Vietnam Fatherland Front of Nghe An province, nearly 9,000 contributors donated over 2 billion VND. Officials, including Vo Thi Minh Sinh, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, visited Ms. Hien to deliver the support. These funds, collected through the provincial relief fund, are intended to assist with her long-term medical treatment and recovery as she adapts to her new physical circumstances.
