This Diwali, while families across India gathered to celebrate joy, togetherness, and light, an extraordinary incident at Pune Airport became a living testament to the power of medical expertise, teamwork, and human compassion.
On the morning of October 21, 2025, what began as a cheerful family trip quickly turned into a moment of crisis — and a miracle — when an 85-year-old man collapsed from a cardiac arrest just before boarding a flight to Rajasthan. Amid the panic and uncertainty that filled the departure area, one man’s calm presence and swift intervention changed everything: Dr. Suhas Hardas, a leading cardiologist from Pune.
When Every Second Counted
Without losing a moment, Dr. Hardas responded to the emergency call from Pune Airport authorities. Within minutes, he reached the terminal, assessed the patient’s condition, and initiated life-saving cardiac procedures. His timely actions, combined with the alertness of the CISF and airport medical staff, stabilized the patient and ensured his safe transfer to Ruby Hall Clinic for further treatment.
Those few minutes became the difference between life and death. As shared by eyewitnesses, the coordination between the airport staff, security team, and Dr. Hardas’s decisive medical expertise created what many are calling a “Diwali miracle.”
Teamwork, Compassion, and Professional Excellence
In recounting the incident, the patient’s family expressed deep gratitude towards Dr. Hardas, praising not only his medical skill but also his composed demeanor and empathy in a moment of chaos. His leadership and calm under pressure brought hope to a distressed family — and reminded everyone of the profound impact a doctor can make beyond the hospital walls.
Dr. Hardas later remarked that such moments underscore the importance of preparedness, presence of mind, and teamwork in emergency medicine. His long-standing experience in cardiology and critical care enabled him to act swiftly and precisely, proving once again why he is recognized as one of Pune’s most trusted heart specialists.
A Festival of Life and Hope
As the patient recovered under expert supervision, what could have been a tragic day transformed into one of gratitude and renewed faith. The family described it as “a miracle of science, heart, and humanity” — perfectly capturing the spirit of Diwali, the festival that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, and life over despair.
For Dr. Suhas Hardas and his team at Ruby Hall Clinic, it was yet another example of why their mission goes beyond medical care — it’s about saving lives, spreading awareness, and giving families the priceless gift of more time together.
