The Good Doctor: Senior Congress Leader Saves Passenger’s Life During Mid-Air Emergency on IndiGo Flight
New Delhi: The good doctor, Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar—senior Congress leader and medical professional— saved the life of a 34-year-old woman who suffered a critical medical emergency aboard an IndiGo flight from Goa to Delhi on Tuesday.
Shortly after take-off, a woman passenger suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness, prompting urgent calls for help. Dr. Nimbalkar, who was travelling on the same flight, immediately rushed to assist.
On examination, the passenger was found unconscious with a feeble pulse, cold extremities and minimal response. With only limited medical resources available on board, Dr. Nimbalkar initiated emergency life-saving measures at the passenger’s seat, after which the woman briefly regained consciousness.
The passenger later disclosed that she had been suffering from stomach upset, had not eaten since the previous day, and had taken medication just before boarding. She was given oral rehydration, but within minutes her condition deteriorated again. She turned pale and cold, with barely recordable pulse and blood pressure.
With nearly one and a half hours remaining before landing, Dr. Nimbalkar coordinated with the cabin crew to vacate seats, lay the passenger down and continue resuscitative efforts under extremely challenging conditions. After sustained intervention, the woman’s condition stabilised and her vital signs improved.
Dr. Nimbalkar stayed by the passenger’s side for the remainder of the flight while the IndiGo crew arranged priority landing and an ambulance with medical support at Delhi airport. The woman was rushed to a hospital immediately after landing.
Dr. Nimbalkar later expressed gratitude to the IndiGo cabin crew and pilots of flight 6E 2091 for their prompt coordination and support.
In a remarkable coincidence, the passenger, identified as Jenny, said she is from California, and that her mother-in-law, who lives in Delhi, is also a gynaecologist named Dr. Anjali.
The incident highlights how swift medical expertise and teamwork at 30,000 feet can make the difference between life and death.
