VTV.vn - A helicopter, numbered VN-8618 of Army Corps 18, on April 21th, flew a patient from Truong Sa Island to the mainland for treatment.

Earlier, fisherman Tran De from Binh Thuan Province was taken to Truong Sa Island as he suffered from ileus on April 19th while fishing off the island.

However, doctors at the island infirmary found that his illness became worse so they decided the patient should be sent ashore for further treatment.  Army Corps 18 assigned a helicopter to fly the troubled fisherman to Ho Chi Minh City-based Military Hospital 175 for further treatment.
