Dr Neeta and Dr Nitin Zabak saved a life mid-air
Often considered as second to God, doctors ideally operate within the confines of a well-run medical facility saving thousands of lives daily. However, only a handful of doctors get an opportunity to save a life mid-air with whatever resources are at their disposal.
A doctor-couple from Kalyan in Maharashtra was recently in a similar situation when they answered their call of duty and saved an Australian woman’s life.

Dr Nitin and Dr Neeta Zabak were returning to India from their 13-day trip to Australia on April 11. The duo boarded the Singapore airlines to Singapore that took off from Perth around 9.10 pm. Barely one hour into the flight, the flight attendant made an announcement seeking medical help.
Speaking exclusively to The Better India (TBI), Dr Neeta says,
The amazing effort of the zabaks have been winning hearts on social media here's what an impressed netizen had to say:
What a proud moment for India and especially Kalyan. Dr Nitin and Dr Neeta Zabak saved a life. They not only stabilised the woman but also avoided emergency landing.
We, at the The Better India, also salute Dr Neeta and Dr Nitin Zabak for their great humanitarian act.
