Dubai's resident saves girl with shortness of breath

A resident named Owais Bahram helped a mother provide emergency assistance to her daughter, who suffered from breathing difficulties and a sudden fainting, in one of Dubai's streets.

The action received widespread appreciation from those present and members of the community.

The Committee for Maintaining Dubai Civility thanked Bahram and expressed its appreciation for what he did, stressing that this honourable example embodies the civilised values rooted in Dubai society, where Bahram proved he was a honourable example of the firmly established values laid down by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

Bahram, 38, was sitting in one of the streets of Baniyas area in Dubai, and suddenly saw a lady running, carrying her daughter, who was suffering from a near-complete loss of breath, so he rushed to carry the child and provided her with first aid, which contributed to restoring her consciousness and breathing within seconds, and the child gradually regained her breath.

Bahran said that he has been working in the UAE for 15 years, and that what he did was a reaction motivated by a simple humanitarian impulse, which reflects the noble humanitarian values that Dubai society enjoys.
