BACOLOD CITY – A nurse from Negros Occidental helped a woman gave birth to a baby boy on a plane Tuesday.
Francis Dominic Mendoza, 25, of Barangay Tangub here, posted on his social media account the incident which earned him admiration from netizens.
Mendoza said he was on a Qatar Airways connecting flight from Ireland, when he learned that one of the passengers went on labor. The plane was bound to the Philippines.
Mendoza said he was seated far from the woman.
“We were in the middle of our flight in Thailand. I went near her and assisted the other crew who was already helping her in her labor with the use of the available tools inside the plane’s medical kit,” he told the media. (Glazyl Masculino)
