A fisherman in distress in Truong Sa sea area receives medical support from military medics

On April 18, the Border Guard Command of Quang Ngai province said that the unit had just received and provided emergency aid to a fisherman on fishing boat QNg 92604 TS who had a work accident in the Truong Sa sea area.

According to initial information, on April 5, fishing boat QNg 92604 TS, captained by Mr. Le Quang Nhat (30 years old, in Nghia An commune, Quang Ngai city) and 7 fishermen departed from Sa Ky Border Control Station to fish for trawling in the waters of Truong Sa archipelago.

Fisherman Tran Vinh injured his leg while fishing at sea.

At 7:00 a.m. on April 14, fishing boat QNg 92604 TS was operating about 50 nautical miles from Truong Sa island when it encountered a storm that caused fisherman Tran Vinh (30 years old, in Nghia An commune, Quang Ngai city) to fall into the ship's hold, resulting in a broken and displaced left leg.

The fishermen on board provided first aid and took Vinh to DK 1/9 rig for medical assistance. The medical team at DK 1/9 promptly bandaged and provided medicine to Vinh and asked the captain to take him back to the mainland.
