VTV.vn - The Military Central Hospital 108 has established two dengue fever field treatment zones at the C1.1 sector of the hospital to meet the rising number of dengue fever cases in recent days.

The zones became operational on August 12th, with 40 beds, and are expected to receive 200 patients a day in Hanoi. The patients will be put on drip feeds and asked to return the next day for further treatment. Over the past month, the Military Central Hospital 108 has received hundreds of new dengue fever patients everyday. With the most number of patients reaching up to 400, most of whom were citizens of Hanoi. Unfortunately, not all patients were taken in due to overloading.
