A quick-thinking lifeguard at a Fujairah hotel was honoured after she resuscitated a two-year-old boy and saved his life.
The family of the boy were guests at the Mirage Hotel Fujairah and were by the pool when the incident took place recently.
Recalling the accident, Angel Nakabiito said she knew exactly what to do to save the child, as she had been recently trained by Blue Guard Middle East, a Dubai consultancy specialising in water safety training.
“I saw that a toddler had drowned from consuming pool water, and my first reaction was to perform CPR," said the 28-year-old from Uganda, who has worked in the UAE since 2019.
