Mira helped a pregnant woman who delivered in the back of the taxi. The taxi pulled over in front of the hospital and the pregnant woman delivered a baby girl who was not breathing and was covered with meconium. The mother panicked as she saw her baby not breathing and with bluish discoloration. Mira came right away to helped and she resuscitated the baby and gave mouth to mouth resuscitation. The baby responded to resuscitation and was brought to NICU. The baby recovered very well, and the mother was so thankful to Mira and the whole team. Mother and baby got discharged at the same time, afterwards, the mother came back to the hospital with a letter of appreciation for Mira.
