Two women doctors of the Indian Army, posted at a UN mission, have saved the life of a passenger during a mid-air emergency in a plane that was flying over Africa.The Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping posted on X saying the two doctors, Lt Col Urmimala Bhattacharya and Lt Col Kirti Sethi, were on board the Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET334. “They swiftly managed a passenger with seizure-like activity due to suspected hypoglycaemia, preventing possible coma and averting flight diversion,” the post said.The two Indian Army doctors are posted with the Indian hospital at the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).The passenger on board the flight had a suspected case of hypoglycaemia, a severe drop in blood sugar levels, which can swiftly lead to unconsciousness or even life-threatening situations if not promptly addressed.The incident occurred as the plane cruised at approximately 30,000 feet. With limited medical supplies on board and no immediate access to a health care facility, the doctors faced the challenge of quick diagnosis and action.The two doctors assessed the passenger’s condition, identified the probable cause, and administered necessary treatment.Their prompt intervention stabilised the passenger, averting further complications and allowing the flight to proceed without diversion, ensuring a safe continuation of the journey.The two officers are integral to the UNMISS, delivering medical care. The ‘Indian Level 2+ Hospital’ in UNMISS is providing advanced health care to UN staff and supporting peacekeeping missions in South Sudan.
