BEIJING (Kashmir English): Two Pakistani students have been lauded for their courageous and benevolent action in saving the life of an elderly man in China.
The students at Gannan Medical University in China, Yousaf Khan and Muhammad Rafeeullah Jawaad, helped in saving life of a man who suffered a sudden medical emergency at a Shanghai railway station.
The incident occurred in the early hours of February 7 at Shanghai Songjiang Railway Station. Yousaf and Jawaad were on a trip to Shanghai when they noticed an elderly man lying unconscious on the ground.
Recognizing the urgency, they immediately rushed to his aid. They, however, found the man unresponsive, with no breathing, a faint pulse, and cyanotic lips – clear indicators of a life-threatening condition.
Without wasting a moment, Yousaf began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while Jawaad assisted him by monitoring the man’s condition.
After four rounds of CPR, the elderly man gradually regained consciousness and began breathing again. The two students remained by his side until he got stable and an ambulance arrived to transport him to the hospital for further medical care.
Their swift and professional response earned them widespread admiration from onlookers, police officers, and general public at the scene.
China Economic Net (CEN) reported on Sunday that many praised their composure and medical expertise, which proved critical in saving the man’s life.
