Canadian doctor delivers 'Miracle' baby on flight

Feb 16,2020 7:19 am

A Canadian doctor has told of her joy after delivering a " Miracle" baby on an overnight Flight to Uganda .

Dr Aisha Khatib, a professor at the University of Toronto, was about One Hour into her Qatar Airways Flight from Doha to Entebbe when The Call went out.

A Ugandan migrant worker travelling home from Saudi Arabia was about to deliver her first child.

The Baby , early at 35 weeks, was born healthy, and was named Miracle Aisha, after The Doctor .

Dr Khatib, bleary-eyed from a gruelling work schedule back in coronavirus-plagued Toronto, was enjoying a well-earned rest on the third leg of her trip.

But she did not hesitate when a voice on the intercom asked if there was a doctor aboard.

" I see a crowd of people gathered around the patient, " Dr Khatib told Bbc News . At this point she was assuming it was a Critical Situation , like a Heart Attack .

" As I got closer see this woman lying on the seat with her head toward the aisle and feet towards The Window . And The Baby was Coming Out ! "

Dr Khatib was helped by two other Passengers - an oncology nurse and a paediatrician from Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

The Baby was crying " robustly" She Said . Following a quick check, she passed the infant to the paediatrician for a closer inspection.

" I looked at The Baby , and she was stable, and I looked at the mom and she was OK, " says Dr Khatib.

" So I was like, 'Congratulations it's a Girl . ' Then the entire plane started clapping and cheering and was like 'Oh right, I'm on a plane and everybody is watching this. '"

The Bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites.

" The Best part of The Story is that she decided to name The Baby after me, " she adds.

As A Gift to her namesake, she gave Miracle Aisha the gold necklace that she was wearing with the name Aisha written in Arabic.

" I thought I'd give it to her and she'll have a little token of The Doctor that delivered her 35,000 feet in the air while flying over the Nile. "

The Delivery happened on 5 December, but Dr Khatib has been too busy treating Covid patients in Toronto to share the pictures online until This Week .

She was called back from Uganda - where was training local Workers - to Toronto on 18 December.

On her Flight home, there was yet another call for a doctor on her plane.

" Luckily there was another doctor there, " Dr Khatib laughs.

" And I kinda said: This one's you. I delivered a baby Two Weeks ago. If you need me I'm in seat 25A. '"
