On the morning of June 21, at Truong Sa Island, the military medical force completed the handover of fisherman Tieu Viet But (born in 1970, from Binh Tri commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai) to fishing boat QNg 95657TS, after he was treated for his injuries due to a work accident at sea.

Mr. But was admitted to the island’s infirmary on June 18 with a concussion and scalp wounds on both temples. According to the doctors, he was given emergency care with antibiotics, painkillers, anti-edema drugs, and was asked to lie still. After three days of intensive treatment, his health has stabilized: he is alert, responsive, no longer has headaches or nausea, and his wounds have dried.

This demonstrates the sense of responsibility, dedication and professionalism of the Truong Sa military medical force in taking care of the health of the people, especially the fishermen who are working day and night at sea, contributing to protecting the sacred sovereignty of the Fatherland.
