Critical Emergency Situation
On the afternoon of January 19, Mr. B.V.P., aged 63, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition: he was in shock, experiencing severe chest pain, and had a slow pulse. The patient had a 14-year history of hypertension and diabetes. His challenging financial situation further complicated his access to treatment.
After examination, doctors diagnosed Mr. P. with a critical myocardial infarction, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate intervention. Without hesitation, the medical team immediately took him to the intervention room, bypassing administrative procedures and cost confirmations.
Swift Intervention Decision
The intervention lasted over 30 minutes, with the doctors’ full concentration. They quickly cleared the blood clot from the coronary artery and placed a stent to restore blood flow to the heart. Thanks to timely and effective treatment, Mr. P.’s health stabilized, and he is expected to be discharged on January 23.
Mr. P.’s survival is a testament to the professionalism of the medical team and the efficient emergency response.
Meaningful Support
Recognizing Mr. P.’s difficult circumstances, the leadership at Can Tho Central General Hospital decided to cover all treatment costs using a charitable fund. This fund is contributed by hospital staff and supported by generous donors.
Mr. P.’s family shared that due to chronic illnesses and long-term treatment, they were financially exhausted. Mr. P. lost his ability to work, and there is a child with intellectual disabilities in the family. Their livelihood depends on the meager income from selling lottery tickets by his wife.
“When we learned about Mr. P.’s critical heart attack, we thought the treatment costs would be too high for us to afford. Fortunately, thanks to the dedicated care of the doctors and the generous donations, Mr. P. was saved. We extend our heartfelt gratitude,” Mr. P.’s relatives expressed emotionally.
The Humanitarian Significance
Mr. P.’s story not only demonstrates the remarkable progress of Vietnam’s healthcare system but also exemplifies the spirit of compassion and sharing within the community. Combining medical expertise with social support has brought joy and hope to those in need.
We hope that stories like this will spread widely, encouraging more individuals and organizations to participate in charitable activities for community health.
