A man from the northern province of Phu Tho has been saved from the death risk caused by a heart problem thanks to Dantri/DTiNews readers’ donations.
Hoang Trong Trac was taken to a local hospital with a high fever and was then moved to Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi where he was diagnosed with acute myocarditis. Doctors said that he needed the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technique for being saved. This method would require more than VND100 million (USD4,347).
