At Delhi Airport's Terminal 2, an elderly man had a heart attack on Wednesday. A woman doctor performed a remarkable act of bravery in saving his life.


With social media users applauding the doctor for her quick and decisive actions, the incident, which was recorded on camera, has gone viral. At the terminal, the doctor was there when the man fell, and in front of a concerned crowd, she started chest compressions on him right away.

Reviving the man within five minutes was made possible by the doctor's prompt response and medical expertise.

She kept encouraging him the whole time, all the way to his conscious awakening. Social media users are urging the doctor, whose identity is still unknown, to be acknowledged for her bravery.

A user from X shared the video, writing, "Today at T2 Delhi Airport, a gentleman in his late 60s had a heart attack in the food court area. This lady Doctor revived him in 5 mins. Super proud of Indian doctors".

A similar incident occurred the previous year when a patient who had suffered two severe heart attacks during a journey from the UK to India was revived by an Indian physician. The man reportedly experienced two cardiac arrests, and the physician had to fight for hours to save his life.
