According to the report of Quy Chau District Medical Center: The incident took place at 9:30 p.m. on June 21, 2019. Quy Chau Medical Center received a patient with a hand injury brought to the hospital by a group of young people.
This group took the patient straight into the minor surgery room of the Department of Surgery. At that time, the minor surgery room was locked, so the group of people standing outside cursed. Hearing the noise, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department's on-duty team went over, examined the situation, and took the patient into the minor surgery room to examine and treat the wound.
Although the on-duty crew arrived in time and did not react to the words and actions of the group of young men, one subject used offensive words towards the medical staff.
After taking the patient into the operating room, the on-duty team of 1 doctor and 2 nurses went in to perform the procedure on the patient. About 5 minutes later, another patient entered the hospital (this patient was not related to the previous group). Because the procedure was being performed, Doctor Lo Thanh Ngoc sent nurse Nguyen Thi Phuong to welcome and examine the patient.
When leaving the operating room, because there were many people in the area, nurse Phuong went to look for the patient. The group of young men continued to insult nurse Phuong. Two young men and a young woman in the group approached, kicked, punched, grabbed her hair, and choked her. Only after medical staff and security guards came to intervene did the two subjects stop and leave.
After being assaulted, nurse Nguyen Thi Phuong was transferred to the Provincial General Hospital for treatment and monitoring. The Quy Chau District Medical Center sent a video clip and reported the incident to the Nghe An Department of Health, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, the District People's Committee, and the Quy Chau District Police for investigation and handling.
