Professor Papert

Prof Papert’s family said that he had been discharged from the hospital in Boston in the US. He is now still undergoing treatment at home. Luckily enough, he will not have any after-effects after the head trauma and now he can speak.

The accident occurred at 4 pm on Tuesday, December 5, 2006, when he and his colleague left the Kim Lien Hotel and tried to go across the Dai Co Viet intersection to the Hanoi Polytechnics University to attend a seminar there.

Professor Papert received head trauma and was brought to the Vietnam-France Hospital in critical condition. On December 16, he was transferred to the US on a special ambulance aircraft for further treatment.
