The Vinh City Party Committee's Inspection Committee has just issued Decision No. 160 - QD/UBKTTh.U "Disciplinary action against comrade Nguyen Xuan Huan - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Trung Do Ward".

The decision clearly stated: “Comrade Nguyen Xuan Huan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Trung Do Ward, had actions and attitudes that were indignant and hot-tempered, causing negative public opinion, negatively affecting the reputation and qualifications of cadres and Party members who violated ethics and civilized lifestyle; he himself did not promptly reflect and provide information about the true nature of his actions; and did not promptly report the incident to the Standing Committee and the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ward.”

The Vinh City Party Committee's Inspection Committee has decided to discipline comrade Nguyen Xuan Huan in the form of: Reprimand.

As reported by Nghe An Newspaper: On the evening of August 18, 2017, at Nghe An General Hospital 115, an incident occurred in which a doctor was beaten in the emergency room of a patient. In this incident, the authorities determined that Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hoang Thang (Director of Tan Thang Construction Joint Stock Company) had committed administrative violations, including: "Words insulting the honor and dignity of others"; "causing disorder in the hospital" and "harming the health of others".

In the incident, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Huan - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Trung Do Ward appeared. As soon as he arrived at the Emergency Department of Hospital 115, hearing what others said, Mr. Huan misunderstood the doctor's irresponsibility and slow handling of the case, so he became angry and hot-tempered. Afterwards, Mr. Huan promptly realized his mistake and stopped Mr. Thang from beating people.

The image of Mr. Huan holding a chair and pointing in front of the doctor's office door of the Emergency Department of Hospital 115 later appeared on mass media and social networking sites, causing public outrage.

Although Mr. Nguyen Xuan Huan did not beat the doctor and nurse, and later intervened and participated in restoring order, Mr. Huan's previous angry and hot-tempered attitude was inappropriate and caused bad public opinion, negatively affecting the reputation and qualifications of officials and party members./.
