Timely support helps a woman successfully give birth at home

Sending doctors and midwives to support the woman in labor

Specifically, according to the representative of Loc An Commune People's Committee, that was the case of Ms. T.T.N.A (born in 1987), whose hometown is Loc An Commune, but is married and currently resides in Hung Loc Commune. Since she was close to giving birth, Ms. A returned to her mother's house in Que Chu Hamlet, Loc An Commune to await the birth. At around 5 a.m. on October 27, Ms. A went into labor amidst heavy rain and rising floodwaters.

Upon receiving the information, a team of doctors and midwives from Loc An Commune Health Station urgently guided the medical staff of the hamlet and locals to successfully assist the woman in labor. The local authority, functional forces, and the health station's doctors and midwives also quickly paddled a boat to the woman's house to provide post-natal support.

The Defense Command of Area 3 - Phu Loc coordinated with the local authority to send a canoe to transfer the mother to a medical facility for care

At the same time, the local authority coordinated with the Defense Command of Area 3 - Phu Loc to bring a canoe to Ms. A's house, and worked with the waiting forces to transfer the mother to Phu Loc Medical Center for care. “The local authority had previously thoroughly reviewed the situation of local households, but Ms. A lives outside the area and had just come back, so updating her information was difficult. However, upon hearing the need for support, the forces immediately coordinated quickly to provide successful assistance,” shared the representative of Loc An Commune People's Committee.
