On October 27, Dr. Dinh Xuan Huong - Deputy Director of Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital - said that among the three injured nurses, one had to continue treatment, two nurses Nguyen Thi Thu Hoai and Nguyen Thi Nhung had stabilized and were discharged from the hospital.
In particular, nurse Nguyen Thuy Trang is continuing to be treated at Nghe An General Hospital. "Ms. Trang's health is progressing well and will recover. However, due to the wound going through the lung tops and some other locations, after being discharged from the hospital, Ms. Trang's health will be affected and she will have to continue to recover her function" - Mr. Huong said.
The Deputy Director of Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital added that after Ms. Trang is discharged from the hospital, the authorities will conduct a medical examination to determine the rate of health damage.
As Lao Dong reported, at around 10:00 a.m. on October 23, Ban Van Vy, born in 1996, from Bac Ninh, residing in Que Phong Nghe An, used a knife to attack many people at the Neonatal Department of Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. Eight medical staff ignored the danger and tried to stop it to protect the child and his family, and get the child out of the danger zone. While protecting patients and their families, three medical staff members were injured.
Immediately after the incident, the Ministry of Health sent a working group led by Dr. Ha Anh Duc - Director of the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment Management - to visit and encourage the victims. The Minister of Health has decided to award Certificates of Merit to brave medical staff. The Director of Nghe An Department of Health presented Certificates of Merit to 8 medical staff for their act of forgetting to protect children and their families.
At the police station, Ban Van Vy confessed to the act and cause of the attack. On October 17, 2025, Vy took his wife to Nghe An Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital for twin cesarean section. The process of monitoring after giving birth for a child with poor health requires intensive treatment. Vy said that his child was not properly cared for, suspected of being exchanged, so he got upset, lost control, and attacked many people with a knife, injuring 7 people.
