Pipeline urgently needed in Hanoi

In documents sent to the government the Hanoi People’s Committee has proposed building a new pipeline from National Road No. 21 to Ring Road No. 3, with capacity of around 60,000 to 70,000 cu m, to provide an additional source of water from the Da River Water Plant as the existing pipeline has broken many times.

“Investment is estimated at around VND864 billion ($38.44 million), borrowed from the Hanoi Development Fund,” the document stated.

As the nature of the project is important and urgent, the People’s Committee has also proposed it be implemented in a particular form.

In planning for water supply to 2030 and vision to 2050, the Da River Water Plant will have a capacity of 600,000 cu m per day by 2020, 1.2 million cu m per day by 2030, and 1.5 million cu m per day by 2050.

Since 2012, however, the Da River pipeline has broken 15 times. Vinaconex, the water supply unit, has already lowered the water pressure as well as the water volume but the pipeline is still vulnerable.

Pipeline No. 2 has been planned so the water plant can provide 600,000 cu m per day by 2020 and support Pipeline No. 1. The work has yet to commence, however, and completion cannot be estimated. The new pipeline is urgently needed to meet water supply needs in the capital.

Quang Binh national park rescued red list animals

The Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park in this central province has rescued seven civets from hunters that entered the park illegally last Tuesday.

The civets included five masked palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) and four Asian palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). While the masked palm civets are listed as a threatened species by the International Union of Conservation for Nature's red list, the Asian palm civets are listed in the least concern category.

Early Tuesday morning the park's forest rangers discovered the illegal entry of hunters inside the park. Cages containing civets were found after rangers chased the hunters.

Two of five masked palm civets died due to the hunters' actions. The park's veterinary staff is taking care of the civets before releasing them back into the wild.

Last week, the park received 40 red-breasted parakeets rescued by local traffic police from a passenger bus.

The bus was travelling from central Quang Ngai through the province's Dong Hoi City. The bus driver admitted to the police that the birds were to be sold as pets in Ha Noi.

 The birds are now being cared for by veterinarians before being again released into nature.

Lai Chau prepares measures against A/H5N6 transmission

The health ministry's preventive medicine department has asked Lai Chau Province to take immediate measures to prevent the transmission of the A/H5N6 avian flu virus from poultry birds to people.

The recommendation was made in an urgent document released yesterday, after the veterinary department of the agriculture and rural development ministry reported an outbreak of the H5N6 virus in poultry in the districts of Binh Lu and Tam Duong in the northern province on Tuesday (September 29). 

The Lai Chau health department has been asked to strengthen communication on preventive measures in areas that have sick or dead poultry or in high-risk areas. Activities should focus on close supervision and early detection of suspected human infections and arrangement of enough medicine supplies, facilities and chemicals to help localities to handle outbreaks.

Hospitals have been asked to prepare for receiving and monitoring suspected cases and for timely treatment of patients as per the treatment plan of the health ministry.

Localities have been requested to work closely with veterinary and local authorities to monitor the disease among poultry birds and for quick handling of outbreaks.

Doctors remove rare huge liver tumor on 2 year old toddler

The Children Hospital No.1 in Ho Chi Minh City yesterday announced to perform an operation on 2 year old toddler to remove a hemangioma.

Earlier, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh P, 2, from the Mekong delta province of Soc Trang was hospitalized when her health condition became poor and her belly was swollen. Her weight is 9 kilogram. 

Through ultrasound, physicians discovered a giant tumor as big as a grapefruit in the right liver. The tumor compresses internal organs, blood vessels. If doctors do not carry out a surgery, the kid will die as the tumor kills liver cells; subsequently, liver can not filter toxic substances.

Accordingly, surgeons decided to perform an operation. After 3 hour operation, surgeons had removed the whole tumor and preserved 25 percent of the kid’s right liver. Tests showed that she has a benign tumor.

Dr. Dao Trung Hieu, the hospital’s deputy director, said that the kid’s liver cells will develop later to supplement the cut part.

Dr. Hieu added that it is rare liver tumor and the toddle can die without an operation.

Hanoi: Drastic measures needed to end dengue fever

Dengue fever could linger in Hanoi until the end of November and even into December if drastic measures are not taken soon. 

According to the municipal Preventive Health Centre, the only way to prevent dengue is to kill Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and their larvae, since there is still no vaccine against the disease. 

The centre’s Director, Nguyen Nhat Cam, stressed the need for joint efforts from all local residents to contain the disease. 

Those suffering from high fevers for at least two days, headaches and pain have been warned to seek medical check-ups for timely treatment. 

Statistics from the municipal Health Department revealed that as of September 30, the capital city had seen 3,028 dengue cases and no fatalities. 

The city has carried out more than 745 campaigns to kill larvae and 74 initiatives to spray mosquito chemical repellent. 

According to the World Health Organisation, dengue fever is contracted through bites from dengue-infected mosquitoes, causing headaches, fever, exhaustion, severe muscle and joint pain, swollen glands, vomiting and rashes. There is no medication to treat the disease, only to ease the symptoms. 

The disease is currently at its peak in Vietnam, with 25 deaths and 40,000 confirmed dengue cases. Ho Chi Minh City has the highest number of patients with 9,000.

Quy Nhon among top 9 places to get off tourist trail: Rough Guides

The US travel guide Rough Guides has cited Quy Nhon- a coastal city in the central province of Binh Dinh - as top 9 places to get off tourist trail in Southeast  Asia.

According to its website roughguides.com, few tourists have stopped in Quy Nhon, where the main industry remains fishing and the long sandy beaches are well preserved. During the rule of the Cham dynasty this was an important commercial centre and evidence of this remains in the imposing Banh It towers on a hilltop just north of town.

Rough Guides suggested that visitors should head up Quy Nhon by xeom (motorcycle taxi) for sweeping views over the unspoiled countryside before returning to town for a seafood supper.

Rounding on the top 9 are Umphang and KoAdang of Thailand, Tiny Kratie of Cambodia, Champasak of Laos, Hsipaw of Myanmar, Camigiun Island  of the Philippines, TanjungPuting national park of Indonesia, and PerhentianBesar of Malaysia.

Dengue fever is spreading across the country with 39,000 cases reported in 51 cities and provinces nationwide, including 25 deaths, an increase of 7 cases compared to the whole year 2014.

Currently, infection cases are drastically increasing in the southern provinces, Hanoi and some northern provinces. 

Accordingly, the Ministry urged local administrations to enhance environment cleaning up twice a week to kill mosquitoes and its larva in “hot spots” of dengue fever and once a month in other places. 

The Ministry also urged local departments of health to keep a close eye on the disease and timely supervision of new outbreaks as well as frequently spray chemicals to kill mosquitoes. 

Medical facilities must provide timely treatment to patients to minimize number of deaths. 

To reduce mortality rate, the Department of Medical Examination and Treatment under the Ministry of Health issued an urgent document that warns people not to treat themselves at home but go to nearby medical facilities when they experience symptoms of dengue fever such as fever in three days, pain in muscles and belly, vomiting.

VN to introduce cultural space in Germany

An exhibition on “Viet Nam’s cultural space” will take place from October 25 to November 7 in Germany marking 40 years of  diplomatic relations between Viet Nam and the Federal Republic of Germany.

During the 2015 Viet Nam-Germany Friendship Year, the German Embassy in Viet Nam has also co-ordinated with the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to organize concerts, painting exhibitions, fairs and film screenings in Ha Noi, HCMC and many other localities nationwide.

Since Viet Nam and Germany established diplomatic relations 40 years ago, the two countries have enjoyed a long-standing co-operative relationship, which still continues to grow in all areas.

Regular visits made by the countries’ leaders indicate that political trust between the two sides has been lifted to a new height.

Germany is now Viet Nam's largest trade partner in the EU, with bilateral trade touching nearly US$7.8 billion.

Lobster reported dying in Quang Ngai province

Lobster farmers in Lý Sơn Island of central Quang Ngai province are suffering from severe losses due to the death of lobsters  in recent days.

Within the last week, 15 per cent of lobsters raised in the district have been reported dead, Lê Văn Đoi, Deputy Head of Economic and Rural Infrastructure Department said.

Đoi said the dead ones weigh between 300gr and 500gr.

Võ Văn Thành, a local farmer in An Vĩnh commune said although he has been checking and conducting sanitary treatment for the cages, but he could not find the reason for the deaths.

Thành also said the price of the lobster breed ranges from VNĐ320,000 to VNĐ350,000 (US$14.2-$15.6), hence, four to five lobster breeds dying per day is costing farmers more than VND1 million ($44.5).

In the market, the price of commercial lobsters continues to drop to as much as half compared to last year. For most farmers, their entire capital and loans are poured into raising lobsters so bankruptcy is quite possible, Thành said.

Deputy Head of the Veterinary Station of the district, Truong Dinh Nho said the station has co-operated with related agencies to investigate the cause.

According to the investigation, some farming households bought lobster breeds of an unknown origin and failed to comply with farming procedures, thereby affecting the growth of lobsters.

Moreover, when the lobsters got sick, farmers were unable to promptly detect early signs of disease resulting in mass deaths.

On the other hand, it could also be caused by hot weather, oxygen deficiency at the bottom of the water body or from contamination caused by leftover food, Nho said.

The Economic and Rural Infrastructure Department is co-ordinating with local agencies to encourage farmers to harvest sellable lobsters, move the cages and lobsters to other farming areas not affected by pollution.
