MTA was the victim of a traffic accident in Nam Dinh (run over by a homemade three-wheeled vehicle) and was the patient in the incident where the hospital had to pay full hospital fees to receive emergency treatment at Nam Dinh General Hospital on the afternoon of May 3, causing public outrage.

According to Dr. Cao Viet Tung, Deputy Director of the National Children's Hospital, after being transferred from Nam Dinh Provincial General Hospital, doctors at the National Children's Hospital performed a 3-hour surgery for the MTA patient.
