On November 15th, doctors at a hospital in Gia Lai successfully removed a coin from the stomach of a 2-year-old patient, PAD, residing in Ia Nan commune, Gia Lai province.

X-ray results revealed a 3-4cm coin in the child's stomach.

According to the family, about three days before being hospitalized, D. was taken to an amusement park. While playing, the child may have accidentally swallowed a coin, but the family was unaware.

Because the child was suffering from pneumonia, the doctors prioritized stabilizing the respiratory system. After the child's condition stabilized, the doctors performed an endoscopy under anesthesia and safely removed the coin from the stomach without any complications.
