With the timely direction and support from the Civil Defense Board (PTDS) of Da Nang city, a specialized emergency ship was quickly dispatched for support.
Despite the extremely unfavorable weather, the functional forces on the island closely coordinated, ensuring absolute safety during the movement, and put the 2 patients on an ambulance to transport them ashore.
Currently, the patients have been safely handed over to medical facilities in the mainland for continued treatment and health care. The smooth and timely coordination of the armed forces and local authorities has helped regain the "golden hour" of emergency care for people in the frontline island commune.
