After a medical examination, the military doctors at Phan Vinh Island Infirmary diagnosed the patient with acute appendicitis that had been going on for about 20 hours. They immediately proceeded with an appendectomy to remove the inflamed appendix. The surgery was successful, and after one hour of recovery, the patient's condition was stabilized. He will continue to be monitored by the doctors at Phan Vinh Island Infirmary.

Furthermore, on July 24, Naval Region 4 conducted the handover of fisherman Tran Van Canh, 48 years old, from Hoai Nhon town, Binh Dinh province, to his family and local authorities. Previously, fisherman Canh had suffered from a work-related accident while fishing at sea.
