Bach Mai Hospital (Hanoi) "rewarded" nurse Ha

On the afternoon of March 28, the leaders of Bach Mai Hospital met and rewarded nurse A9 - Dang Thi Ha for saving a man who had a cardiac arrest in a restaurant in Da Nang.

Director of Bach Mai Hospital - Mr. Dao Xuan Co - awarded a certificate of merit to nurse Dang Thi Ha for her outstanding achievements in emergency treatment of patients in the community. Mr. Co expressed his pride when hearing that his staff worked very meaningfully, effectively and successfully in emergency treatment of foreign tourists outside the hospital.

"Out-of-hospital emergency care is very important. We can only receive emergency care at the hospital. Doing a good job of cardiac arrest emergency care, trauma emergency care, poisoning emergency care... will give the patient a chance to live.

"If a patient with circulatory arrest does not receive emergency treatment within a few minutes, they are at risk of brain damage; if a patient with spinal cord injury does not receive proper first aid, the consequences can affect them for life," said Mr. Co.

Mr. Co also added that Bach Mai Hospital will soon coordinate with relevant units to provide training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
