Former MLA and doctor Anjali Nimbalkar from Khanapur in Karnataka has saved the life of an American woman in a mid-air medical emergency on a flight coming from Goa to Delhi. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and the Congress Party have praised this brave act.
Dr. Anjali provided emergency medical care
On December 14, Siddaramaiah posted on X that this incident happened on a flight coming from Goa to New Delhi. Shortly after takeoff, an American female passenger suffered severe chest pain and started having trouble breathing. The situation became serious.
Then former MLA and All India Congress Committee (AICC) Secretary Dr. Anjali Nimbalkar, who was aboard the flight, immediately helped. He assessed the woman’s condition and started emergency care. Dr. Anjali gave cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and stayed with the woman for about one and a half hours. He administered medicines and monitored her condition until the woman became stable. Due to his quick understanding and timely help, the woman’s life was saved and a major accident was averted.
Congress’s principle of ‘service above all’
Siddaramaiah wrote, ‘I am very proud to hear this. This work of Dr. Anjali is a service above public service. Even after leaving active medical practice and joining politics, his spirit of helping remains intact. Siddaramaiah wished him long life and good health, so that many more lives can benefit from his kindness and sense of duty.
Karnataka Congress also saluted Dr. Anjali. The party described it as an extraordinary example of courage, kindness and public duty. Congress said that public service does not end with post or position. Dr. Anjali’s step forward to help shows her lifelong commitment to service and caring for others. This reflects the Congress’s principle of ‘service above all’ and ‘humanity above all’.
