An Indian woman went into throes of labour at Terminal 2 of Dubai airport. The helpless people were reduced to mute spectators. They didn't know what to do, when out of nowhere corporal Hanan Hussein Mohammed, an inspector at Dubai airport, appeared as a saviour on the scene.
Hanan used her presence of mind and swung into action to handle the emergency situation. She rushed the pregnant woman to the inspection room of the airport and helped her give birth to the baby there. That's not all. Since the baby was not breathing, she performed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the child. Hanan saw to it that the mother and her baby are taken in an ambulance and ensured their full safety. 
Brigadier Ali Atiq Bin Lahej, director of the General Department of Airport Security at Dubai Police, honored Hanan, for her incredible act and humanitarian as well as professional approach that saved the woman and her baby.
Hanan said that helping the woman made her very happy, adding that the General Department of Airport Security asked a team of female officers to visit the woman in Latifa hospital.
