National Children's Hospital security guards block ambulance

Previously, when a clip appeared "accusing" the security guard of the National Children's Hospital of blocking an ambulance carrying a patient, affecting the life and causing the child's death, the hospital's leadership spoke out to deny this information.

Hospital leaders also said that the incident was only due to the security guards' poor handling skills, uncivilized behavior, and the ambulance driver not following the regulations of the health sector when the vehicle had no patients but still sounded the siren to ask for priority, leading to the two sides arguing with each other.

Meanwhile, the ambulance driver insisted that he did not sound the siren as the hospital claimed and said that he had been repeatedly made difficult by hospital security guards when picking up patients.

On July 7, a new clip appeared on social media showing that not only the ambulance driver but also the patient's family were outraged by the behavior of the security guard at the National Children's Hospital, especially when the ambulance from Nghe An was rushing to pick up the patient to take care of the funeral, because the child had a severe congenital heart disease, high risk of death, the doctors explained and the family asked to take the child home./.
