Filipino delivers baby at RGIA; both fit to travel
A team of gynaecologists and paediatricians from Apollo Cradle in Jubilee Hills facilitated an in-flight delivery of a baby and transferred the mother and baby with the umbilical cord intact to the Apollo Cradle for further treatment.
Jubilee Hills: A team of gynaecologists and paediatricians from Apollo Cradle in Jubilee Hills facilitated an in-flight delivery of a baby and transferred the mother and baby with the umbilical cord intact to the Apollo Cradle for further treatment.
A Philippine Airlines flight en route to Manila from Riyadh had requested for emergency medical attention for a Pilipino lady in labour pain and made emergency landing at RGIA, Hyderabad.
The flight transiting over India en route to Manila on May 8 sought medical help with the RGIA airport. The flight made an emergency landing to enable medical assistance for the lady who was in an advanced stage of pregnancy.
To handle this high-risk pregnancy, a team of experienced obstetricians and nurses from Apollo Cradle were on standby post security checks at the airport, much prior to the landing of the flight.
Once the flight landed, the team rushed to the seat where the mother was and enabled an in-flight delivery of a baby girl. However, the umbilical cord was left intact, as the team could not carry the surgical blade necessary to sever the cord due to security restrictions.
To enable further medical care to the baby and the mother, who were both in critical state of health, were brought to Apollo Cradle in Jubilee Hills. After stabilizing their health, cord was cut with necessary aseptic precautions.
The mother and the baby have since recovered and are ready to make journey to their home land. The paediatric – neonatologist, Dr C Suresh Kumar, confirmed that the baby is now fit to travel.
