Falling from scaffolding, a Nghe An worker in Taiwan is in critical condition.

According to information from a fellow countryman in Thanh Xuan commune (Thanh Chuong) in Taiwan, on the morning of June 30, while constructing a project in Tainan, Mr. Ly fell from a 6m high scaffolding to the ground, with two steel bars piercing his back and lungs.

Immediately after the incident, people at the scene cut the steel and quickly took Mr. Li to a hospital in Tainan for emergency treatment. Doctors there performed surgery to remove the steel rod from his chest. Last night, doctors continued surgery to remove part of his lung.

After the surgery, Mr. Ly’s health was unstable, sometimes convulsing, sometimes in a coma. Mr. Ly’s wife’s relatives were present at the hospital to take care of the victim.

It is known that Mr. Ly has been working in Taiwan for 4 years. Recently, because the company had no work, he went out to work as a construction worker.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Cong, a native of Thanh Xuan commune, currently working in Taiwan, added that at Tainan Hospital, in addition to Mr. Ly, there is another fellow Thanh Xuan commune resident being treated who also fell from the scaffolding. That is Mr. Nguyen Canh Anh (28 years old), who fell from the 12th floor to the 8th floor on May 25, suffered multiple injuries, and had to undergo multiple surgeries on his head, face, lungs, etc. His relatives in his hometown had to go to Taiwan to take care of him.

"Currently, fellow countrymen in Thanh Xuan commune are calling for donations to help two fellow countrymen in distress" - Mr. Cong said.
