After having an abortion here, Ms. N. felt tired, had a stomachache, and had a lot of vaginal bleeding. The clinic staff took her to Hung Vuong Hospital by taxi. Fortunately, patient N. received timely emergency care and is now in stable condition.
Immediately after the incident, the Department of Health deployed a team to verify information at the hospital and established an inspection team to inspect operations at the related clinic.
The Department of Health said that the inspectors will handle according to the law for individuals and organizations that violate the law in medical examination and treatment activities, especially strictly handle facilities that operate beyond their scope of expertise, causing complications for patients.
In addition, the Department of Health also requested that medical facilities, when receiving emergency cases due to complications after performing medical examination and treatment services at private facilities and clinics, must promptly report to the Department of Health to ensure effective state management of medical examination and treatment activities in the area.
