Previously, at around 5:00 p.m. on October 1, the Fatherland Front Committee of Phuc Hoa commune received an urgent report from the family of Ms. Dam Thi Hoi, residing in Na Rieng hamlet, about signs of labor and needing to be taken to the hospital immediately. However, the roads out of the hamlet were completely isolated by high, fast-flowing floodwaters. Recognizing this as a dangerous, emergency situation that could threaten the lives of mother and baby, the commune leaders and the Commune Civil Defense Steering Committee promptly coordinated and directed a working group consisting of officers, soldiers, departments, and mass organizations of the commune to help the pregnant woman. From the pregnant woman's house to the point where the working group could reach, the road was about 200m long, but the floodwaters had overflowed the slippery, deep-watered road, posing many potential risks. However, the authorities promptly joined the family in helping to safely take the pregnant woman to the Medical Center.

On this occasion, leaders of the Department of Health promptly visited and gave gifts to congratulate the mother and child of Dam Thi Hoi, Na Rieng hamlet.
