The prompt action saved the life of the woman, F. Al Hosani, whom doctors diagnosed was a critical case of pulmonary embolism or blood clots travelling into the lungs.

In a statement to Gulf News, the hospital management said, “We came across multiple appreciation messages on various social media platforms, and even got calls at the hospital call centre acknowledging the tremendous efforts and dedication of the security guards and the entire team after reading the news on Gulf News. The security guards’ prompt action and the coordinated team response played a vital role in ensuring the young woman received the urgent medical attention she desperately needed. The hospital management recognised the significance of the acts of heroism and took it upon themselves to acknowledge and reward the unsung heroes. Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, presented Dh50,000 in cash as a token of appreciation to the employees in an event organised at the hospital.”

The woman, who was attended to by a triage of nurses, was wheeled into the resuscitation room where a team of emergency medicine professionals swung into action.
