During this time, the Social Work Department of the hospital supported necessities and daily food, helping him maintain his daily life and feel secure in treatment.
When the patient's health stabilized, the Culture and Social Department of Nha Trang ward coordinated with the hospital to complete the necessary procedures and take him to the Khanh Hoa Social Protection and Social Work Center to continue to receive care and support according to regulations.
According to the leader of Khanh Hoa General Hospital, Mr. L.D's case is a special care journey, when the patient is far from home, faces language barriers and has no relatives by his side.
The coordination between the medical team, functional departments of the hospital and local authorities has helped patients have a place to continue to rely on after finishing treatment at the hospital.
Khanh Hoa General Hospital also sent thanks to agencies, units, and philanthropists for accompanying and coordinating information verification, connecting and supporting patients. Thereby, contributing to spreading the spirit of responsibility, sharing and humanity in community health care.
