Minh Chay’s pate poisoning victim shows good signs of recovery. Doctors hope that the patient will have a breakthrough, soon regain muscle strength and return to normal life.
Patients recover slowly
Dr Nguyen Ngoc Sang, Department of Tropical Diseases, Cho Ray Hospital, said that there is still one case of poisoning from Minh Chay pate that is still being treated in the emergency recovery area. That is a male patient born in 1966, botulinum poisoning, his health has improved quite well.
The patient was able to open his eyes more than half, open his mouth and his limbs were able to move about 3/5. Currently the patient has to continue ventilating, but the pneumonia improves well. Doctors are instructing physical therapy, nutritional improvement to soon stop ventilators for patients.
Meanwhile, at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, the health status of two sibling patients transferred from Long An also had a positive evolution.
After taking the clostridium botulinum antidote, the sister was able to move her limbs. Meanwhile, the younger brother is fully awake, his muscles recovered and he will be transferred to rehabilitation treatment.
In the south alone, Ho Chi Minh City hospitals have received and treated 10 cases of botuline poisoning in Minh Chay Paté. So far, although there have been no deaths, long-term mechanical ventilation is very expensive. Furthermore, patients are at risk of paralytic sequelae after hospital discharge.
The Ho Chi Minh City Food Safety Management Board is working closely with the authorities to implement the recall. However, the progress of the recovery is very slow, of the 1,101 customers who purchased Alternative Living 2-member Co., Ltd.’s products (in Hanoi) The Board contacted, so far only 289 have recovered 163. customer products.
The Food Safety Administration has sent out a list of customers who have not yet delivered products and who cannot reach the police by phone for a coordinated solution.
The case was serious but the response was slow
Regarding the recall and disposal of Minh Chay pate products that cause intoxication to customers, Associate Professor Pham Khanh Phong Lan, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Food Safety Management Board, said: “In process terms, authorities have complied with legal handling procedures, basic steps are complete. However, considering the severity of the infection, botulinum poisoning affects people’s health and lives, it seems that authorities have responded a bit slowly. The authorities have done everything possible but have not fulfilled the urgent expectation of time ”.
According to associate professor Phong Lan, what minutes, what time and what day to process and recover slowly, the risk that people do not know and continue to use the product will be very dangerous to their health.
However, it is impossible to ignore all processes because it easily leads to confusion and injustice, so it must be considered. If the business is an injustice, it will certainly cause economic damage, if the warning is delayed, it will affect the health and lives of people.
In the case of the Minh Chay pate with a very serious bacterial toxin, which threatens the life of the victim, it is necessary to warn early that day. However, the warning must be multi-layered, when it is confirmed that 100% of the bacteria originated from a company process, it must be based on data.
In fact, when matches have been reported, at least data is available for state management agencies to order production halt and to recall and handle related infractions in accordance with sanctions. errors subjectively or objectively. In a bad situation, it is necessary to choose the least worst, the economic damage can be compensated, but it can be compensated but the health and lives of people cannot be compensated.
To prevent similar incidents from happening, Associate Professor Phong Lan said: “Knowledge of the production facility is very important, it is necessary to improve production capacity. Without the awareness of the growers themselves, there is no inspection force that can fully control risk factors, as well as intentional errors.
In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the control and supervision of state management bodies and the participation of the people in the complaint of manufacturers of poor quality food, saying no to products of unknown origin. origin, ”said associate professor Phong Lan.
