Summer safety for children

Summer activities at the children's reading room, Thanh Hoa Provincial Library.

On the afternoon of May 24, 2025, HQD (born in 2019) and VHTA (born in 2018) took half a bottle of gasoline to burn an ant nest while playing, and the fire broke out. Hearing her children's screams, Ms. Ha Thi Khuyen (D.'s mother), who was harvesting rice not far away, ran back and saw the children burned all over their bodies. Ms. Khuyen immediately covered the children with wet clothes to put out the fire, then took them to Nhu Thanh District General Hospital, then transferred them to Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital. At the hospital, doctors diagnosed that D. had third-degree burns, covering 15% of the body, mainly on the face and right forearm. A. had third-degree burns covering 60% of the body, including the entire back, abdomen, hands, groin, genitals, buttocks and thighs. Due to the seriousness of her condition, A. was transferred to the Department of Emergency - Intensive Care and Anti-Poisoning, Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital.

Or in the case on June 4, 2025, patient NTKT (born in 2020) was admitted to Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital in a deep coma, respiratory failure, pulmonary edema and circulatory failure. T. was given a very serious prognosis, threatening death. According to the family, before the accident, T. was playing in the garden and fell into the family's dirty pond. He was found unconscious and received first aid on the spot, then taken to the District General Hospital in a coma. Here, the doctors treated him with an endotracheal tube, intravenous fluids, diuretics, and transferred him to Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital for further treatment.

Dr. Ngo Viet Hung, Head of the Department of Emergency - Intensive Care and Anti-Poison, Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital, said: Drowning accidents in children often tend to increase during heat waves, summer vacations, and holidays. Thanh Hoa Children's Hospital annually receives and treats many drowning patients with various conditions, but not all are lucky enough to survive. Treatment results depend on many factors, of which the process of detection and first aid on the spot is extremely important. Although medicine has now implemented many intensive resuscitation methods, with advanced equipment, drowning emergency treatment still faces many difficulties, with a high mortality rate or leaving irreversible brain damage, which is a burden for families and society, especially in the group of patients who have stopped breathing and stopped heart.

According to statistics, from the beginning of the year to the end of May 2025, there were 9 accidents and injuries to children in the province, causing 14 deaths, including 8 drowning accidents causing death to 13 children; 1 traffic accident causing death to 1 child (accounting for 89% of the total number of cases and 92% of children who died from drowning).

Faced with the above situation, in order to drastically implement measures to prevent accidents and injuries, especially drowning accidents, and ensure the safety of children in the province, the Chairman of the Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee requested provincial departments, branches, sectors, and organizations and People's Committees of communes and wards to seriously and effectively implement the strengthening of leadership and direction, promoting the role and responsibility of heads and heads of agencies and units in directing and implementing the work of preventing and combating accidents and injuries, especially child drowning; regularly inspect and urge the implementation in localities, fields, and units in charge; periodically or suddenly directly inspect routes, areas, and locations with high risks of drowning accidents to promptly direct correction and remediation.

In addition, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested to promote information, communication, dissemination and legaleducation on prevention and control of accidents and injuries to children with diverse forms, practical and accessible content,... to raise awareness and responsibility of Party committees, authorities, sectors, organizations, agencies, units, families and the whole society, especially emphasizing the prevention and control of drowning accidents to ensure absolute safety for children in the summer and rainy and stormy seasons...

To join hands in building a safe and healthy living environment for children, it is also necessary to strengthen inspection and examination of compliance with legal regulations on preventing and combating child accidents and injuries. In particular, focus on inspecting and strictly handling violations related to child safety standards and criteria at construction sites, public works, means of transport, entertainment areas and equipment for children... Resolutely not allowing the existence of points of risk that endanger children's safety.

In addition, it is necessary to encourage the organization of summer activities widely in residential areas, with the coordination of youth unions and youth unions at all levels - where summer playgrounds become spaces for children to "learn while playing, play while learning". The education sector also needs to strengthen coordination with relevant departments, sectors and units to systematically integrate life skills education, injury prevention and drowning prevention into summer activities. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage the expansion of public living spaces for children such as libraries, cultural houses, museums, sports areas... with preferential policies, ticket exemptions and reductions...
