The child, coming from the central province of Quang Tri, suffered a malignant tumor in brain. These children with brain tumor are treated with high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue.
Doctors from the Pediatric Centre and their colleagues from the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Centre and the Oncology Centre of the Hue Central Hospital performed a stem cell transplant on the child.
Thirty-two days after the operation, the child recovered. Test results have shown that his blood was normal.
Professor Pham Nhu Hiep, Director of the Hue Central Hospital, said that the hospital is the third facility across the country to carry out successfully such operation. It is the first stem cell transplant in the central region.

According to the circular, based on socio-economic conditions, scale and form of sightseeing activities of each scenic spot, historical relics, cultural works and museums, provinces and cities can determine appropriate fee levels, but must ensure that the rates are uniformly applied to both Vietnamese and foreigners.
For scenic spots, historical monuments, cultural constructions and museums recognised by the UNESCO as a world cultural and natural heritage site, the charge norm is equal to or higher than the entrance fees for other scenic places, historical monuments, cultural works and museums.
Exemption and reduction of fees are applied for children, those who enjoy preferential policies for cultural enjoyment, people with disabilities and elderly people, according to regulations under the current laws.
