Trekking through the jungle to assist pregnant women.

While on duty, they received a distress call. Female medical officer Ho Thi Hieu, a Ca Dong woman, along with her male colleagues at the Tra Tap Commune Health Station (Tra Cang branch), quickly prepared their medical equipment and immediately set off. Their destination was the home of pregnant woman Ho Thi Nh. (21 years old), located deep in the mountains at Mo Lang peak (village 5, Tra Tap commune).

Medical officer Hieu said that at the time, she didn't have time to think about anything else; she just heard the news that a pregnant woman was about to give birth and rushed off. However, to reach Ms. Nh.'s house, Ms. Hieu and her colleagues had to travel more than 5km along a treacherous, landslide-prone mountain road. She was trembling with fear as she went, but because of the patient's life, Ms. Hieu had no other choice.

To reassure the expectant mother, along the way, Ms. Hieu continuously called to offer advice and encouragement. The family of the expectant mother, Ms. Nh., was overwhelmed with emotion when they saw the medical staff , covered in mud and dirt, braving landslides to assist with the delivery. Without resting, after completing the necessary professional procedures, Ms. Hieu and her colleagues successfully assisted the mother in giving birth to a baby weighing 3.2 kg.

This isn't the first time Ms. Hieu has assisted pregnant women in childbirth. Last year, also during the floods, Ms. Hieu and her colleagues successfully transported two patients to the emergency room. One of them was a rare and difficult birth, with the fetus in a breech position requiring immediate emergency care.

Mr. Ngo Tan Lac, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Tra Tap commune, said that despite the difficult travel conditions due to floods, the local medical staff are still wholeheartedly dedicated to the health and lives of the people. "This is something very commendable," Mr. Lac remarked.

Spreading good deeds

Amidst the continuous updates on the flood situation, media and social networks circulated images of local police forces promptly coordinating rescue efforts to safely transport pregnant women through raging floods to medical facilities for childbirth.

Social media posts sharing the joy of relatives of women who safely gave birth amidst the raging floods, along with heartfelt thanks to the rescue forces, warmed people's hearts during the devastating rain and floods.

Among the many images circulating and causing a strong emotional response is the picture of two police officers from Hoa Vang commune "accompanying" a newborn baby in a special cradle as they fled the flood with their family. The styrofoam box became a warm and safe cradle for the baby, carefully placed onto a rescue boat by Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Phu Ben, Deputy Head of Hoa Vang Commune Police, and his colleagues.

In the former flood-prone area of ​​Quang Nam , implementing the "four on-the-spot" principle, the commune police force, in coordination with relevant forces, continuously patrols and monitors key areas, promptly detecting and rescuing people trapped by rising floodwaters.

During the operation, the Thu Bon commune authorities rescued and transported eight pregnant women to the nearest medical facility, resulting in safe deliveries for both mother and child.

For example, pregnant woman Pham Thi S. (Nhuan Son village, Thu Bon commune) experienced ruptured membranes and, using specialized vehicles, braved the rain and floods to transport her to Nong Son Medical Center for childbirth.

In Duy Nghia commune, rescue forces from the commune's police, military, and local security personnel successfully assisted in the delivery of a baby for a woman in labor amidst the floodwaters. They then quickly transported both mother and child to the nearest medical facility for care…

Netizens believe that babies born during this rainy season will be resilient and compassionate.

"Seeing my baby safe in the hands of the rescuers warmed my heart," a new mother shared.

The images of soldiers in their green uniforms struggling amidst storms and floods to rescue and assist people and nurture even the smallest saplings have left a deep impression. When asked about his work, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Phu Ben casually remarked, "When the people need us, we wholeheartedly support them, especially during these unusually severe and heavy rains and floods."
