However, this is only a part of patients, because there are many children who do not know the information and have not been examined, especially the children in secondary school, because they are still inferior.

Mr. Nguyen Duy Bang, Principal of Vat Lai Secondary School estimated that the number of sick children could reach hundreds. Because of the 9th grade students, the previous day did not have any children to report, only in the afternoon of April 26, 10 children came.

You don't want to talk about your illness.

Of the 82 children that were initially concluded, 30 are students in the 5th grade, meaning that in the 2006-2007 school year, the High School will receive all the students with this disease. Illness is not only a burden for 70 families of these disabled children, but also a problem that worries the school. The Board of Directors of Vat Lai Secondary School hopes to be assisted with a career guidance room, equipped with computers to help seriously ill students get careers.

The Children's Hospital also called on the units to be able to finance the surgery costs for 71 severe patients, because all of these cases fell into poor families of Yen Bo village.

When the group of Pediatric Hospital doctors left Yen Bo village, there were still patients who continued to come to Mrs. Chu Thi Loi's house - Vice Chairman of the Commune Women's Union - to report their children to the disease. Village 1, 2 and village 5 are the three villages with the highest concentration of patients. According to Thay, many families still do not know about the disease . Therefore, the school will continue to ask the People's Committee of Xa Lai Commune and Ba Vi District to request a health check for the whole commune to detect all cases. Children who have not yet been diagnosed with the disease will ask the Children's Hospital to continue to help. The school will also organize donations between teachers and students, and mobilize additional study encouragement funds to subsidize every sick student 100,000 VND.

At present, the thing that the leader of Vat Lai commune and the people here is most worried about is that all the patients discovered are concentrated in Yen Bo village, the other 3 villages are Vat Phu, Vat Yen and Vat Lai. Come on. Especially the village of Yen Bo has about 400-500 children, but the number of sick children can reach hundreds.
