Nguyen Ba Thanh, Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs, passed away at 13:00 on February 13 in the central city of Da Nang due to fatal disease, according to the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Internal Affairs.
Thanh, who was also member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Standing Head of the Central Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption, was diagnosed with bone marrow disorder and initially received treatment at the Central Military Hospital 108 in Hanoi.
Later he was brought to Singapore for treatment, and at the advice of Singaporean doctors, Thanh’s family took him to the United States in mid-August last year.
According to American health experts and relatives, the official underwent chemotherapy while waiting for bone marrow transplant. However, as his health condition did not meet requirements for bone marrow transplant, US doctors and his family decided to stop chemotherapy and focus on improving Thanh’s health.
