Accordingly, on September 25, Ms. T. went to the hospital to give birth by cesarean section to a baby boy weighing 1,050 grams and was transferred to the hospital's Neonatal Department for treatment, but due to the severity of the illness, the baby died on the afternoon of October 24. The baby's hospital stay cost of more than 33 million VND was fully covered by health insurance.

When the child died, the Neonatal Department contacted and handed over to the family according to regulations. The family then informed that someone had helped with a car to take the child home for burial.
