  Two Pakistani medical students saved an elderly man's life at a Shanghai railway station.

  On the early morning of February 7, at 3:30 AM, two Pakistani medical students from Gannan Medical University, Yousaf Khan and Muhammad Rafeeullah Jawaad, were traveling in Shanghai when they encountered an elderly man who had collapsed at the exit of the Songjiang Railway Station. In a life-threatening situation, the two students quickly sprang into action, using their medical knowledge to assist the elderly man.

  According to reports, many of the travelers at the scene were uncertain of how to help. However, Yousaf and Muhammad, identifying themselves as clinical medicine students from Gannan Medical University, received permission from nearby police officers to intervene. Upon assessing the elderly man's condition, they found that he was disoriented, not breathing, with a very weak pulse, and his lips had turned purple. The two students immediately put their emergency training to use.

  Yousaf performed multiple rounds of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, while Muhammad assisted by observing the elderly man's condition. After the fourth round of CPR, the man slowly regained consciousness and began to breathe on his own. Throughout the rescue, the two students remained focused and vigilant, ensuring that the elderly man had the best chance for survival. He was later transported to a hospital for further treatment, and his condition is now stable.

  Upon learning of the students' heroic actions, Gannan Medical University praised Yousaf and Muhammad, awarding them certificates of bravery and recognition for their life-saving efforts.

  Both students are from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province in Pakistan and are currently pursuing their Bachelor's degree in Clinical Medicine at Gannan Medical University.

  Muhammad shared, "The school places great importance on ethics and constantly encourages us to do good deeds. Studying medicine has equipped us with the knowledge and skills to provide emergency care and save lives in critical situations."

  Yousaf, who performed CPR for the first time during this incident, expressed his pride and joy in being able to save a life. He said, "Saving lives is the sacred duty of every doctor and medical student. In any similar situation, I would not hesitate to lend a hand again."
