Comatose patient finally taken home by Air India

Dammam: Air India has finally transported a comatose patient home after being lambasted for off-loading him from a flight earlier this month.
The patient, Mohammed Shaffe, 39, was accompanied on Sunday by Dr. Govindraj Satyanarayana, a doctor at Kims Hospital, Jubail, to Karippur International Airport in Kerala. Shaffe’s relatives have admitted him to a hospital there.
Shaffe, who came to the Kingdom seven months ago as a house driver, is the sole support of his wife and three children.
The Indian Embassy authorities, who intervened in the matter, made the repatriation possible. The workers of the India Fraternity Forum, who also worked hard to get Shaffe sent home, thanked the embassy officials and the doctors and staff of King Fahd Military Hospital for their care and support.
Shaffe, from Thanoor in Malappuram district of Kerala, India, spent almost two months in King Fahd Military Hospital, after being involved in an accident in the Abqaiq area.
