A war veteran from the northern province of Phu Tho is struggling with serious complications from the A/H1N1 flu virus is being treated in Hanoi, but his family are too poor to cover hospital fees.

Phung Viet Hung is being isolated at an intensive care room at Bach Mai Hospital for A/H1N1 influenza treatment.

  

Hung is now at Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi for the treatment


Doctor Trinh The Anh who directly provides the treatment said that Hung was hospitalised on April 7 with high fever, cough and difficulty breathing. After the two-day treatment, the breathing difficulties much worsened, so he had to use a ventilator.

However, his condition did not improve, so he was taken to the intensive care ward where he was diagnosed with serious respiratory failure resulting from A/H1N1 flu. Doctors had to use the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technique for him.

His health has improved a bit, but still needs the replacement of new extracorporeal membrane oxygenation equipment which would cost VND120 million (USD5,217). This also costs him around VND20 million for daily treatment. 

  

He is expected to recover in the next two weeks but his family can’t afford the treatment.

Hung is the only child in his family to have returned alive from war as two younger brothers died in the fighting.

“Hung is brave and co-operated during the treatment. Despite great pain, he always tries to follow our advice,” the doctor said.
