On Monday, the Indian and Australian governments made a humanitarian gesture by facilitating the repatriation of Arshdeep Singh, a 25-year-old man suffering from chronic renal failure. Singh relocated from India to Australia in 2018 to pursue higher education.
On Monday evening, he arrived at Delhi airport and was taken to Gurugram’s Medanta hospital. Qantas operated Flight 111 from Darwin, which was used to airlift Singh.
Members of his family expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for their efforts.
“I’m speechless, and I want to express my gratitude to the Indian government, particularly Prime Minister Modi, as well as the Australian government and doctors who initiated dialysis treatment. The grace of the Almighty was present. I’m grateful to everyone who assisted in the delivery of my child to me “Inderjeet Kaur, Singh’s mother, was quoted.
Singh, who was studying in Melbourne at the time, went to a local hospital on June 8 and learned that he had renal failure and that his kidneys were not functioning, according to Sikh leader Manjit Singh GK.
“With an ejection fraction of 20%, his heart is only 20%. We had no place to go because there was Covid going on, and the family was in shock. An organ transplant was also suggested by the hospital. This is a serious situation “Added he.
Arshdeep is seen alone in the flight with his medical equipment, according to a video shared by Manjit Singh GK.
“Our government was kind enough to approach the Australian Government, the mother was given a visa on June 17th, but there were no flights operating. Arshdeep’s condition was deteriorating every day. Then we requested the Australian government to send Arshdeep back to India so that he can get the treatment,” he said.
