Hyderabad,
May 13th, 2019: A
team of gynaecologists and paediatricians from Apollo Cradle, 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 08, 2019, 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 and labour pain. 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 flight landing. Once the
flight landed, the team rushed to the seat where 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 baby and mother; who were both in critical state
of health, were brought to Apollo Cradle, Jubilee Hills. After stabilizing
their health, cord was cut with necessary aseptic precautions. Mother and 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.
The
Obstetrics and nursing capabilities to deliver and manage high risk
pregnancies, at Apollo Cradle is on par with the best in the world along with
the neonatology capabilities, which ensures we can handle the health of such
critical babies. The most critical of babies and mothers are in safe hands at
Apollo Cradle,
says, Mr. Chandra Sekhar C., Group CEO,
Apollo Health & Lifestyle Ltd.
