This is how the baby "Miracle Aisha" was born at an altitude of 35,000 feet above the Egyptian air

While the plane was flying at 35,000 feet above Egyptian airspace, Dr. Aisha Al-Khatib, a professor at the Canadian University of Toronto, who was on the plane, heard a distress call to help a woman in childbirth.

The Canadian doctor rushed to the aid of a Ugandan worker who went into labor on the plane and helped deliver her.

"Al-Khatib" expressed her great joy, after she helped in the birth of the baby "Miracle" on a plane, during a night flight to Uganda, at an altitude of 35,000 feet above Egyptian airspace.

The pregnant woman was a Ugandan worker returning from Saudi Arabia - where she works there - to her country, Uganda, and she was pregnant in recent months and about to give birth.

The baby, at 35 weeks, was born in good health, and was named "Miracle Aisha", after the doctor who helped bring her into the world.

Dr. “Al-Khatib” was wishing herself in a state of relaxation during her trip after a hard work period due to the Corona epidemic that struck her city, Toronto.

But she did not hesitate to move to help the woman after she heard a call through the plane's intercom asking for the presence of a doctor.

"I saw a crowd of people gathering around the patient," Aisha Al-Khatib said.

At this point, she assumed there was a critical condition, such as a heart attack.

She added: "As I approached the patient, I saw a woman lying on a chair with her head toward the aisle and her feet toward the window, about to give birth."

Dr. Al-Khatib was assisted by two other passengers (an oncology nurse and a pediatrician from Doctors Without Borders).

"The newborn was crying hard," she said.

After a quick examination, she handed her over to the pediatrician, who helped her to examine her more closely.

Aisha Al-Khatib told BBC Arabic, "I looked at the child, and she was stable, and I looked at the mother and she was fine.. So I said: Congratulations, it's a girl.. Then the whole plane started clapping and cheering and I felt good, I'm on a plane." Everyone is watching this."

"The best part about the story is that she decided to name the baby after me," she added.

Dr. "Aisha" gave the girl a golden necklace that she was wearing with the name "Aisha" written on it in Arabic.

About this, she said, "I thought I would give her any souvenir from the doctor who brought her into the world 35,000 feet in the air while she was flying over the Nile."
