Pakistani students in China praised for saving elderly man’s life

Islamabad:Two Pakistani students Yousaf Khan and Muhammad Rafeeullah Jawaad, at Gannan Medical University in China, have been lauded for their courageous and benevolent action in saving the life of an elderly man who suffered a sudden medical emergency at a Shanghai railway station.

According to a report carried by China Economic Net, the incident occurred in the early hours of February 7 at Shanghai Songjiang Railway Station. Yousaf and Jawaad, during their trip to Shanghai, noticed an elderly man lying unconscious on the ground.

Recognising the urgency, they immediately rushed to his aid. Upon assessing the man, they found him unresponsive, with no breathing, a faint pulse, and cyanotic lips - clear indicators of a life-threatening condition.

After four rounds of CPR, the elderly man gradually regained consciousness and began breathing again. The two students remained by his side, ensuring his stability until an ambulance arrived to transport him to the hospital for further medical care.
