The Department of Health recently shared a heartwarming story of Deputy Minister Dr. Sibongiseni Dhlomo’s heroic act, which resulted in saving the life of a fellow passenger during a flight. Several grateful messages have poured in from passengers, expressing their appreciation for his quick response and medical expertise.
On a routine flight from Durban to Cape Town, an alert passenger seated behind Dr. Dhlomo notified him of a female traveler in need of immediate medical assistance. Without hesitation, he swiftly moved to the adjacent seat and attended to her needs.
Dr. Dhlomo, being a trained medical doctor, prioritized checking the vital signs of the distressed passenger to pinpoint any underlying medical issues. He expresses his gratitude to the fellow passengers and flight attendants who provided the necessary medical kit and oxygen to stabilize the patient during the journey.
When the pilots hinted at possibly diverting the flight, Dr. Dhlomo confidently assured the crew that he could manage the situation until reaching the scheduled destination. Upon arrival, he handed over the patient to a waiting paramedic team at Cape Town International Airport.
The department emphasizes that this act of heroism reflects Deputy Minister Dhlomo’s commitment to accelerating healthcare service delivery. His dedication extends beyond extraordinary situations on flights, with regular visits to health facilities and forensic pathology services nationwide. He even assists in performing post-mortems to ensure prompt burials for grieving families.
The inspiring story of Dr. Dhlomo’s in-flight intervention serves as a reminder of the unwavering dedication of healthcare professionals and their willingness to step forward in times of need. Such actions truly exemplify the compassion and selflessness that lie at the core of the medical profession.
