Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Thi Thanh Huyen, Head of Student Affairs Department, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, said that immediately after learning about the incident, the Board of Directors and related units such as the Department of Facilities, the Department of Student Affairs, the Department of National Defense and Security, the University of Science and Technology Medical Center, etc. coordinated to inspect and review the provision of meals for students of national defense and security.
According to the meeting minutes, on May 29, 54 students had stomach aches during class and asked to go outside to use the restroom. On May 30, the school directly asked for students' opinions and found that 176 students had stomach aches.
Among them, 2 students experienced vomiting and were taken to the medical center for examination and medication. According to initial examination, these 2 students came to the medical center with signs of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and mild nausea.
A representative from the school’s medical center said that these were signs of digestive disorders, not food poisoning. The center gave the students medicine. The students’ symptoms of stomachache and diarrhea could also be due to changes in the weather.
