One day before the incident, on May 28, Thien Son hired Tram Anh Company owned by Bui Manh Quoc to carry out maintenance of RO water filtering system in Hoa Binh Hospital’ dialysis ward.
However, though the water system had not been tested yet, it was used to treat patients. This is not accordant with the Ministry of Health’s guideline. As per the Ministry’s instruction, medical workers and the maintenance company must monitor quality of water used for dialysis before using for treatment.
