In a nerve-wracking medical rescue drama that played out in Delhi on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi served as the savior for an eight-day-old girl child from Assam. The infant was initially diagnosed with meconium aspiration syndrome, a medical condition when first stool of the baby enters the lungs. When the child inhales the contaminated fluid, it causes respiratory disorders that may turn deadly.
The kid’s parents initially sought help from several influential people, including a top IPS officer. However, nobody came forward to help him anyway. To save the child, doctors at Aditya Hospital in Dibrugarh, arranged an air ambulance which was scheduled to land at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport around 7 pm, a time when traffic on Delhi roads is at its peak.
Modi's interference in the nick of time safeguarded a traffic-free passage for the rescue team. The parents of the baby said they owe the life of their daughter to the Prime Minister and Delhi Police. Doctors on Sunday said the baby is out of danger and making good progress.
