Doctors giving surgery to the patient
Earlier, fishing boat BT 98858, captained by Tran Van Hau (from Long Hai commune, Phu Quy district, Binh Thuan province), requested to berth at Song Tu Tay (Southwest Cay) Island due to fisherman Nguyen Van Thu undergoing critical health problem. Thu was immediately rushed to the infirmary and the medical team concluded that he had an acute appendicitis and needed an immediate surgery.
After the successful appendectomy, the patient is now recovering.
