In fact, Phung Thoi Pham's health has been declining significantly since the beginning of this year. In March, he revealed that he had been hospitalized twice for recurring pneumonia, and even wrote a will in case he was afraid he would not survive.
On May 30, Phung Thoi Pham posted on social media, sharing his condition: "I was in the hospital for 2 months and 3 days, feeling like everything had become numb.
Was finally discharged yesterday, but can't say I'm fully recovered yet.
Because the oxygen concentration in the blood is not enough, I still have to live with the help of an oxygen generator. Anyway, old age has come, I can't resist it, I can only accept it.
