The incident was reported to the SOS Children's Village leadership. Immediately afterwards, the village staff took the child to Nghe An Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital for a health check.
According to doctors at Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, the newborn girl was about 3-4 days old, her umbilical cord had not yet fallen off, and she weighed 3.5 kg. When she was admitted to the hospital, she had poor feeding and jaundice. Doctors had to ask someone to breastfeed her, warm her, give her IV fluids, and use phototherapy to treat her jaundice.
In the coming time, this children's village will coordinate with local authorities to find relatives for the child. If relatives do not claim the child, the children's village will take care of the child.
