Emergency physician Dr Usaid Ahmed and his team of paramedics at The Helping Hand Foundation (HHF)-SEED-AMPI quickly swung into action, put her in the prone position and started tapping her back until she was out of danger.
The healthcare workers also administered life-saving injections to open up the girl’s airways and revive her heart.
After the baby gained consciousness, Ambu Life Support was given to her in addition to the nebulizer.
Within minutes she threw out water along with pieces of the balloon which she had gulped while drowning.
The doctor then referred her to a better hospital for observation.
