The injured victims of a boat capsizing accident in southwest China's Guizhou Province are recovering well, according to the local hospital treating the survivors.
Sudden strong winds turned four boats over in the water in a scenic area of Guizhou's Qianxi City on Sunday noon, resulting in 10 fatalities and leaving 70 people injured.
The injured were sent to Qianxi People's Hospital for treatment, all in non-life-threatening conditions. As of Monday afternoon, three individuals have fully recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
"The 70 rescued individuals primarily suffered from minor injuries. What we are mainly dealing with are dizziness, nausea, and soft tissue injuries. With treatment under the guidance of expert teams from both provincial and municipal levels, their clinical symptoms have improved significantly. We have also made detailed treatment plans, ensuring comprehensive services, including psychological counseling and assessments. As of now, three patients have been discharged, and we are closely monitoring the condition of the others," said Zhang Li, deputy director of the hospital.
Following the accident, Qianxi, a county-level city, has received assistance from the provincial and municipal levels, with over 190 medical experts dispatched to the Qianxi People's Hospital to participate in the treatment of the injured. The hospital itself also assigned medical staff from various departments to tend the injured victims.
