Eleven fire victims and one fireman have been treated in the hospitals. Amongst 11 victims in the hospital, Le Phan Trong Nhan and Tran Yen Minh have been treated in the hospital’s intensive care unit because of their critical condition.
Head of the ICU Dr. Phan Thi Xuan said that victims were recovering well. When Le Phan Trong Nhan was taken to the hospital, he fell in coma yet he was conscious. Through testing, doctors said no brain damage.
The second victim Tran Yen Minh had to breathe via ventilator assistance because she had breathing problem. Other victims in the ICU have been suffering upper airway injuries because of smoke inhalation.
The Deputy PM encouraged patients to rest for their health, advising doctors to provide treatment for fire victims as top priority.
