REUTERS/KhamHANOI: Vietnam has mounted an all-out effort to save the life of its most critically ill novel coronavirus patient, a British pilot who works for Vietnam Airlines, the national carrier.
More than 4,000 people connected to the cluster were tested, with 18 of them found to be infected with the coronavirus. On Tuesday, the health ministry held a meeting with experts from top hospitals and decided that the only way to save the man's life was with a lung transplant.His case has garnered national interest in Vietnam, where the government has won broad support for its campaign to contain the coronavirus.On Thursday, state media said 10 people, including a 70-year-old military veteran, had volunteered themselves as lung donors, but had been turned down by state doctors.
The patient has just 10 per cent of his lung capacity left and has been on life support for more than 30 days, Tuoi Tre said.
