The victim was treated for bleeding, had 7 stitches, was bandaged, and was injected with painkillers and antibiotics.

At 3:30 p.m. the same day, the victim's health was stable, he was conscious, his pain had subsided and he was handed over to the fishing boat KG-94357TS to be brought ashore for further treatment.

The quick and dedicated actions of the officers and soldiers of Ship CSB 6003 once again affirmed the high sense of responsibility of the Vietnam Coast Guard for the safety of fishermen at sea. It is also a practical and meaningful act, contributing to the achievement of celebrating the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025) and National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).
