Ailing poor man in Binh Thuan needs help
  • By Van Son | dtinews.vn | July 27, 2017 08:45 PM
Widower Nguyen Chien Tuyen in the southern province of Binh Thuan was diagnosed with meningitis, which left him hospitalised for months, making it extremely hard for him to care for his three children.

Chien’s wife died two years ago due to metrorrhagia after giving birth, leaving three children behind. Among those, the youngest was three days old.

In early March this year, he had signals of tiredness and headache. After many days of high fever, he was taken to hospital for medical check-up and doctors said that he suffered from meningitis. Since then, he has been staying at HCM City Hospital for Tropical Diseases.

For many months bed-ridden and suffering from allergies has left him with skin infection with many sores on his body.

Now, his condition has improved. He does not have to use machines for breathing and his skin problems have been controlled. He will have to continue using meningitis medicines which however are not covered by health insurance. He will also have to stay at the hospital for additional six months.

Doctor Pham Kieu Nguyet Anh said that the next treatment stage will be very costly. “We always encourage him to overcome the challenges. He can’t speak because of mouth and throat injuries and just cries,” she added.

Her eldest child Nguyen Quang Linh, 17, had to leave school after his mother’s death to support the family.

Over the past five months, he has taken care of his father at the hospital. Meanwhile, his younger brothers were taken care of by his aunt.

Sometimes, Linh and her father are given food by other patients.

The poor family has used their current house as collateral for a VND50-million (USD2,270) loan from a bank.
